Story summary
- CRRC will use Hong Kong’s former Kai Tak airport as a test bed for autonomous electric rapid-transit (ART) buses and as a launchpad for overseas expansion.
- CRRC plans to deploy trackless ART buses linking Kai Tak with the city at a lower cost than a metro or tram system.
- Observers say geopolitics and data-privacy concerns could threaten the project, while CRRC hopes success will win contracts in large metropolises outside China.
