And in compliance with the CMP ’s polic y of building a sustainable and pedestrian-friendly campus, pedestrian footpaths have been built, bridges and speed lifts have been added to provide vertical links between different levels of the campus. Improvements have been made to the transportation infrastructure to accommodate the influx. The latter includes planning teaching and learning activities according to ‘zones’ within the campus so as to reduce interzonal vehicular movement, and opening a new MTR exit and bus terminus. Campus shuttle bus routes have been redesigned to meet new needs. More information may be found at: www.cuhk.edu.hk /campus- transportation/english/index.html .
