九巴巴士轉乘


Y. F. Yiu (sjs84409@sjs.hkcampus.net) from 202.40.137.110 at Mon Mar 1 12:16, 1999 said:


九巴計劃推行巴士轉乘, 概念本來不錯, 因為可以節省多餘的巴士


在路面行駛, 不過佢o係轉乘路線的收費方面就有點兒那個.


三組路線的乘客會俾原來俾多 $1.7 至 $2.2 (以熱狗轉番熱狗計),


舉個例子, o依家 11X 收 $4.7, 將來o的人就要搭 13M ($2.7) + 15


($4.2/$5.5), 減你個五毫優惠, 仲要用八仔至有, 合供 $6.4/7.7,


貴o左 $1.7, 仲要等兩次車 (雖然總候車時間未必耐個o依家)


乜意思先? 係咪 Cut 線為名, 屈錢為實?


個人認為, 任何轉乘計劃必須符合以下條件:


1. 總收費不能高於現時;


2. 平均總候車時間不能較現時多出超過三分鐘;


3. 需提供機制讓現金付款乘客轉車 (如一小時有效的轉車票);


4. 須確保提供轉車之路線有足夠的額外容量


(如13M 及 15 兩線須有額外容量容納繁忙時間約每小時 200 名 11X 乘客)





如果九巴做唔到的話, 煩請運輸署及有關區議會反對該等方案

香港至珠海過境巴士


B-3353 (dickson2@macau.ctm.net) from 202.175.28.213 at Mon Mar 1 09:32, 1999 said:


昨天去完珠海機場送機, 搭巴士在粵海酒店下車, 不久見到了兩架


香港和興(無記錯的話), 是新巴集團(NB). 一架是 Benz, 另一架是


日產大乏力. 再望過去粵海對面的商業大廈, 完來是舉行香港至珠


海的直通巴士剪綵儀式. 不過由香港至珠海巴士需時三小時左右,


倒不如直接搭船好過, 除非 D人喜歡遊巴士河啦!





上周在中山汽車站見到廣州鷹牌雙層巴士的 B-3353

59X display + comments


59X (leungmlw@hk.super.net) from 192.193.195.25 at Mon Mar 1 08:32, 1999 said:


Good morning,





2 things :





1. Anyone knows when the time display at Tsuen Wan 59X terminal


will be used? It has been there for long time but nothing is displayed


at all.





2. For the bus homepage vote, it's the best not to mention it or tell


the others anymore. The more we talk about it, the happier the author,


which we are falling into his/her trap. Agree?





59X



Article 5:

Sorry, should be 59M


59X (leungmlw@hk.super.net) from 192.193.195.25 at Mon Mar 1 08:33, 1999 said:


Sorry, the thread below should say 59M terminal in TW MTR.





59X.



Article 6:

Appledaily Finance 990301


y k shum (ykshum@mit.edu) from 18.250.0.110 at Mon Mar 1 04:34, 1999 said:


城 巴 淨 值 11.3 億





Roughly a bus cost HK$2 million, so its asset value can


only cover about 550 buses, way less than the entire fleet.





Is this financial situation healthy and typical for a transport company?

Article 8:

Rearrangement of busstops on Nathan Rd.


100/911R/M1 Wong (wongjsy@sfsu.edu) from 208.139.121.176 at Mon Mar 1 13:52, 1999 said:


As I took B1 yesterday, I already noticed some rearrangements


of busstops along Nathan Road (north bound).





For example, if you want to take 234X along Nathan Road, please


walk a bit more back to the terminus.





Others, as I found out at Tsim Sha Tsui East bus terminus, are


quite reasonable, while some aren't.





For examples, 26, 81C, 87D, and 98D also have their stops


near Pennisular Hotel being cancelled. Some rather unfortunate


ones like 35A/41A have their stops along Parklane being


cancelled.





To give KMB some credits, it has been rearranging busstops


prior to TD's own enforcement, such as the case on Hong Kong


Island.

Article 9:

Bus Lane along Tuen Mun Highway


100/911R/M1 Wong (wongjsy@sfsu.edu) from 208.139.121.176 at Mon Mar 1 13:48, 1999 said:


The first thing I got this morning regarding buses is words


from my colleague who lives in Tuen Mun.





He said the bus lane along Tuen Mun Highway has been cancelled,


and he was stucked in traffic with many private cars on the


previous bus lane.





Is this true? Do you think such action is justified through


the opening of Tai Lam Tunnel?

Article 10:

Last jubliant in service, KMB or NWFB?


MikeWong (wongmic@aol.com) from 152.207.198.74 at Mon Mar 1 13:25, 1999 said:


Any boardmates know who will run the last jubliants in


service, KMB or NWFB?





If you ask me this question 2 years ago, I would say CMB


for sure.



Article 11:

路線收費標準


Eddie Lam (bustop@glink.net.hk) from 158.132.14.17 at Mon Mar 1 13:19, 1999 said:


想問下係咪每條路線o既全程收費先至會受行政會議通過收費標準監管?


分段收費駛唔駛呢?





九巴經常話長途線分段收費 set 得高係用以保障短途線o既客量.


點解新界西區 (荃葵青, 元朗, 屯門) 長途線返回新界後, 分段收費與


該區短途線睇齊? (如 44, 60X, 68X, 276P)





但新界東區 (沙田, 大埔, 將軍澳) 長途線返回新界後, 分段收費又會


高於該區短途線收費? (如 74X, 87D, 98D)





另外, 增設分段收費係咪都要向政府申請呢? 點解九巴咁鍾意加 D 多餘


兼無聊o既分段收費? 如旺角火車站線由旺角警署起有一個, 分段比全程收費


低一毫子等等....
