Notes and definition
Chapter 4 of the Transport Department guide (2025 edition, revised June 2026) says people with specified types of disabilities may apply through the 80 contact organisations coordinated by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service. The same paragraph points readers to Table 2, which is numbered only up to 76 (separate fact). Both figures are official and the difference is left unexplained, so both are carried without adding or subtracting them (see /calibre).
