     The Transport Department (TD) announced today (June 23) that, in view of the suspension of the vehicle examination scheduling system, telephone booking hotlines have been set up by the TD starting from today to accept scheduling of vehicle examinations to be conducted in the Transport Department Vehicle Examination Complex (TDVEC) until further notice. The hotline services are designated for handling annual vehicle examinations in the TDVEC only.
