The Peak Tram –Riding High with Hong Kong for 120 YearsOver 121 years of service haswoven the Peak Tram into thevery fabric of Hong Kong. Thefaithful funicular is much morethan a vital transport link, alandmark and a not-to-bemissedtourist attraction. Sinceits inauguration in May 1888, thePeak Tram has helped to shapethe face of Hong Kong’s development.In 2008, the Peak Tram achieved a record high throughput of 5million. With the limit of 120 passengers per Tram ride, it is nomean feat to break records while maintaining its high standardof customer service. The Peak Tram’s sustained success can beattributed to effective measures in productivity enhancement andprofessional staff training, which instill within all level of staffmembers a common goal of continuous enhancement in efficiencyand the quality of services. On top of this foundation, aninnovative approach is used to build the brand as the legendaryPeak Tram, constantly offering new surprises and memorableexperiences for tourists and commuters alike.Management Shows the Way to Team SpiritAs Ms. May Tsang, General Manager, Peak Tramways Company,Limited, puts it, “The management of Peak Tramways and eventhe top executives of its parent company play a major role in thepromotion of the Peak Tram brand and the company’s culture.By actively encouraging discussion about various issues, themanagement strives to motivate staff to contribute their valuableideas. The spirit of quality customer service is reinforced, throughthe many opportunities for interaction among staff, within everyphase of the Company’s operations while dynamically refreshing itscorporate culture.”Continuous Improvement in Infrastructure and FacilitiesSince the 19th century, the Company has sought to run the PeakTram at the highest standards through continuous investment inits system upgrade. With the march of technology, the system hasbeen modernized and evolved from coal-fired steam boiler enginesto today’s microprocessor-controlled electric drive systems.The ticketing system, too, has been updated, most recently inSeptember 2007, and resulted in more efficient managementof passenger flow. The ticketing data are analysed to help themanagement team make informed decisions about manpowerdeployment during peak and slow periods. The four intermediatestations have also unveiled brand new designs reflecting the motifof the Peak Tram Historical Gallery at the Lower Terminus onGarden Road, adding a new element of passengers’ enjoymentwhile strengthening the Peak Tram brand and its historic cachet.Enhanced Risk Management Puts Safety FirstThe Peak Tram’s microprocessor-controlled electric motorautomatically controls the travelling speed to ensure a safe andcomfortable journey. To maintain reliable performance of thesystem, regular inspections following a detailed log are carried outon well-planned regular basis. Each year, a thorough inspectionof the entire tram operating systemis carried out by experts fromSwitzerland and representativesfrom the Electrical and MechanicalServices Department in Hong Kong.For added safety, emergency drillsare conducted several times a yearin the small hours together withprofessionals from the Fire ServicesDepartment and Hong Kong St. JohnAmbulance.Optimised Service QualityAt Peak Tramways, we maintain a fair workplace environmentby providing equal opportunity employment and promotionopportunities to staff. To bring out the best in our employees,we also nurture their capabilities while advancing future careerdevelopment prospects through training programmes.Each day, surveys are conducted at different spots to help usunderstand customers profile, their opinions and expectations.When complaints are lodged, a 72-hour response policy is strictlyadhered to. Each case will be investigated thoroughly andreviewed with staff as a means for coaching and training.All-round Marketing Strategies to Raise CustomerSatisfactionTo compete successfully in today’s information age, we aim todeliver a greater awareness of the many dimensions of the Peak. Aseries of comprehensive tourist information collaterals, highlightedby promotional video clips, a new website as well as leaflets, havebeen produced. Complementing these efforts, we actively engagein a wide range of promotional activities within the tourismindustry including overseas tourism exhibitions in promoting HongKong.A Memorable Peak Experience with SurprisesTo deliver a more memorable experience for Peak visitors, inSeptember 2007, the “Peak Tram Historical Gallery” was opened atthe Garden Road Peak Tram Lower Terminus. The Gallery housesmore than 200 Peak Tram memorabilia collected from all over theworld, some dating back more than a century. This unique gallerynostalgically recalls the heritage and history of the Peak Tram,connecting closely with the collective memories of Hong Kong’sresidents and tourists alike.CILTHKissue 40 Newsletter 3

In celebration of the 120th Anniversary on 30 May 2008,thousands of passengers rode on the Peak Tram for only HK$0.30,the same fare as on the Tram’s opening day in 1888. Adding tothe enjoyment of this ride up and down memory lane, staff andconductors of the Peak Tram were attired in Victorian-era uniformsto serve passengers, who also received a free newspaper dated 30May 1888, and whose tickets were validated by conductors usingthe original, mechanical ticket bell punchers now rarely seen. Thecommunity’s response was overwhelming and the celebration wasto become the talk of the town.Giving Back to the SocietyRealising that the success of the Peak Tram depends on thesustainable development of our society, we have provided supportto many organisations in charitable causes. In 2008, our approachto the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups successfully ledto a charity campaign, "My First Peak View", which enriched thelives of more than 2,000 low-income youngsters and their familieswith their first Peak Tram rides to the Peak. Every year, the PeakTram also grants support to the "International Disabled PersonsDay", “Senior Citizens’ Day” and the “Dress Special Day”.Reaching New HeightsDespite the many social and economic trends affecting tourism,the Peak Tram team strives to bring an unforgettable experienceto visitors through their enthusiasm, professionalism and ceaselessinnovations.

Contractor? Self-employed Person?Recently, there has been widespread public concern and discussion about the issue of “employee versus self-employed person”.Actually, in determining whether a person is an employee or a self-employed person, it is not the title of the job or the contract butwhat it is in substance that matters. If the relationship between the parties is in essence one of employer-employee, the employer stillhas to fulfil his obligations under labour legislation such as the Employment Ordinance and the Employees’ Compensation Ordinance.How to differentiate an employee from a self-employed person?There is no single conclusive test to differentiate an employee from a self-employed person. Below are some examples for reference.However, they are not conclusive tests applicable to every case, as different industries and companies may have different customs ortrade practices. All relevant factors have to be taken into account in making a distinction between an employee and a self-employedperson. There is also no strict rule as to the relative weight that an individual factor should carry. The following table sets out thegeneral rights and obligations of an employee and a self-employed person/contractor.An employee's general rights andobligationsWork equipment provided by the employerNeed not bear the risks of business lossNo right to hire helpersEmployees' compensation insuranceprovided by the employerWorkplace, work procedures, attendanceand working hours largely controlled by theemployerIncome tax return filed by and MPF schemecontributions made by the employerA self-employed person/contractor's generalrights and obligationsProvides his own work equipmentBears the risks of business lossFree to hire helpersResponsible for his own insuranceWorkplace, work procedures, attendanceand working hours largely self-controlledResponsible for his own taxation mattersand MPF scheme contributionsFor details about the differences between an employee and a self-employed person/contractor, please refer to the leaflet “Know YourIdentity and Rights – employee and contractor or self-employed person” published by the Labour Department. (The leaflet can bedownloaded at the website of the Labour Department http://www.labour.gov.hk/eng/public/wcp/SelfEmployedPerson.pdf) You mayalso call the hotline 2717 1771 (the hotline is handled by the 1823 Call Centre) or make enquiries in person to offices of the LabourRelations Division of the Labour Department.CILTHK14 Newsletter issue 40
