Abstract | The Western Corridor Railway (WCR) is a worthy infrastructure project which will bring significant economic and transportation benefits to Hong Kong. It must be built without delay and in an economic manner, providing good value for money. On the other hand, to finance this project requires a commitment of more than half of Hong Kong's hard-earned fiscal reserves. However, the author strongly argued that the WCR project has financial implications that must be faced immediately and he lists some points to support his view in this article. |
