Hong Kong tram equipment update, switch to LED light source

Hong Kong Tramways Co., Ltd. said that it will invest 75 million Hong Kong dollars. It is expected to fully update its 161 trams and body design within five years. In addition to basic hardware and interior space, it also includes LED light sources.
