Panel discussion: Wherever you are in the world, consider these questions. Have you ever used your city's public transport and then complained about it?

Well, if you live in a big city, we've all said those things at one point or another. -Dong Shanfeng, General Manager of Bluepath City Consultanc -Hung Wing Tat, Associate Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University -Vukan R.
