Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo do Rosário said yesterday he expects a fully government-owned company tasked with the construction and operation of Macau’s Light Rail Transit (LRT) system to be set up before the middle of this year.
Rosario made the remarks while speaking to reporters after attending a closed-door meeting of the legislature’s 3rd Standing Committee, which is reviewing, article-by-article, a government-initiated bill regulating the future LRT operation.
The Executive Council announced during a press conference in the middle of last month that the government had drafted a by-law on the establishment of the government-owned LRT company. Government-drafted by-laws, officially known as administrative regulations, do not require the legislature’s approval.
