Guest speakers and members of the audience at yesterday’s Macau Forum urged the government to go ahead with its plan to build a Light Rail Transit (LRT) system on the peninsula, in the wake of three lawmakers’ suggestion last week to cancel the plan for the LRT construction on the peninsula.
Three out of the four guest speakers said that an LRT system would be fundamental to improving the city’s traffic in the long term. They also said that the LRT project on the peninsula should not be given up just due to the adverse impact on the traffic situation during the construction period.
The weekly open-air debate is hosted by government-owned broadcast TDM in Areia Preta Park every Sunday.
