FDX-Change in grn trans in HKG
Just reviewing the SIG notes for Dec. Noticed that HKG ground transportation is slated to change to a vendor that will use 7 passenger vans. For those of you who do HKG, we have been riding in new, comfortable, and the most part, SAFE Mercedes cars to and from the airport. We cross, I beleive three bridges, often at high speeds on an often busy toll road. HKG is often windy and I don't look forward to crossing any bridge in high winds, let a lone one in HKG, where I'm not driving, and in a van.
I dropped a line to the hotel committee how I feel about the change and what I feel is a setback from a safety position. If you feel the same, please write also.

Soon you will sitting beside a little chinese woman with a live chicken on her lap, once they change to the public transportation. You'll offer to pay to ride in that 7 passenger van, and love it.

The company has contracted with XXXXX Limo to provide all ground transportation between the airport and the [two downtown layover hotels], as well as between HKG and CAN. XXXXXX will only be using 7 PAX vans.
enjoy your 3+ hour 7 PAX van ride to CAN (extra springy shocks - like the vans from ICN to the hotel there!!) - they might have the VHS tape player option too if we're lucky - yay!!
