Bus 43M 巴士

18/3/2021

At today's Southern District Council meeting, the councillors along the route of 43M unanimously objected to Transport Department's proposal to reduce the headway of 43M from 20 minutes to 30 minutes and truncate the route to Kennedy Town (Belcher Bay) by dropping Shek Tong Tsui. We can accept and understand temporary adjustment due to Covid. Our office will also submit our objection in writing including the comments we have received.

今日南區區議會會議上，所有沿43M路線的相關區議員一致反對運輸署43M 「改以堅尼地城卑路乍灣為總站，不再服務石塘咀，並將班次由20分鐘一班削減為30分鐘一班」的建議。我們接受疫情期間班次需要作出臨時調整。我們會稍後去信運輸署重申反對立場並附上居民表達的具體意見。

MTR via Pokfulam - South Island Line (West) 薄扶林港鐵服務 - 南港島線（西段）

25/11/2020

[25 November 2020]
Today's policy address explained that 'The MTRCL will also submit the South Island Line (West) project proposal to the Government by the end of this year to tie in with the redevelopment of Wah Fu Estate and the Invigorating Island South initiative, after which relevant departments will study the proposal and implement the project in due course.' (link)

This line will include stations at Wong Chuk Hang, Aberdeen, Tin Wan, Wah Fu, Cyberport (along Cyberport Road), Queen Mary Hospital (at the top of Sassoon Road) and HKU station. We expect that Government and MTR will heed the call of the residents and ensure the rail runs underground of Cyberport Road to minimize noise and visual intrusion. Detailed plans will be made available later this year.

今日發佈的施政報告亦提到：「為配合重建華富邨和「躍動港島南」發展，港鐵公司將於本年年底向政府提交南港島線（西段）項目的建議書，有關部門會隨即進行研究，適時推展項目」。（連結）

南港島線西段途經港鐵站包括黃竹坑、香港仔、田灣、華富、數碼港（沿數碼港道）、瑪麗醫院（沙宣道頂）及香港大學。我們預計政府及港鐵將回應居民的訴求，薄扶林段會採用地底型式興建，以減少噪音及景觀上的影響。政府會於今年年底公佈詳細資料。

2013年意見調查結果 Survey results in 2013

[10 July 2019]
The first step in realising the South Island Line (West) has been taken.

We received confirmation that the Transport and Housing Bureau (THB) has invited the MTR Corporation Limited in June 2019 to submit a proposal for the South Island Line (West) project. This line will include stations at Wong Chuk Hang, Aberdeen, Tin Wan, Wah Fu, Cyberport, Queen Mary Hospital and HKU.

We will clarify with the MTRC what the procedure will be for soliciting community input in determining the preferred alignment. The survey we conducted earlier showed that while 78% of the residents support an MTR station in Pokfulam, 83% prefer the rail to be underground.

We will keep you posted.

南港島線（西段）剛踏出第一步。

運房局確認已於2019年6月邀請香港鐵路有限公司提交南港島線（西段）的建議書，途經港鐵站包括黃竹坑、香港仔、田灣、華富、數碼港、瑪麗醫院及香港大學。

我們已去信港鐵詢問他們就鐵路走線及其他事宜諮詢居民的時間表。據我們早前的意見調查顯示，78％的居民支持於薄扶林區設置港鐵站，而要求鐵路以地下走線形式興建的更高達83％。

如有最新消息，我們會再作匯報。

[11 April 2019]
Chief Executive Carrie Lam confirmed that planning and implementation has yet to start for the seven new railway projects identified in 2014, including MTR South Island Line (West). Recent MTR troubles were among the reasons given for the lack of progress.

行政長官林鄭月娥指出南港島線西段是2014年7個建議興建的鐵路項目之一，惟至今所有項目均未落實規劃，其中一個原因是政府及港鐵忙於處理現有鐵路問題。

[10 April 2018]
In a 1221 page response to the many questions from Legislators regarding the Budget, we spotted on page 96 that government confirmed its intention to invite the MTR Corporation Limited within this year to submit a proposal for the South Island Line (West) project. Stations are expected to include HKU, Queen Mary Hospital, Cyberport, Wah Fu, Tin Wan, Aberdeen and Wong Chuk Hang. We support the MTR as long as the rail is built underground. See our report in 2014.

We will update the community as and when more news becomes available.

每年立法會議員都會就財政預算案提出書面問題，政府昨日發佈了一份1087頁的文件回覆各位議員的質詢。我們發覺當中第82頁政府表示有意在今年內邀請港鐵公司就南港島線(西段)提交建議書。我們預計沿途港鐵站包括香港大學、瑪麗醫院、數碼港、華富、田灣、香港仔及黃竹坑。我們的意見是要求薄扶林段採用地底型式興建，詳情可瀏覽我們於2014年的報導。

如有最新消息，我們會再作匯報。

Display of route number at the side and back of minibuses 於小巴車身及背面展示路線號碼

5/7/2019

[5/7/2019]
With a video to illustrate how people have to run to the front of minibuses just to find out the route number, we have pushed for number display at the side and back of minibuses in the Legislative Council and the Southern District Council. Good news is that AMS, a large operator in the Southern District, has started to include electronic displays on new buses.

過往數年，我們多次於區議會內外指出小巴車身側面及背面未有展示路線號碼，導致乘客往往需要走到車頭位置確認，極為不便。好消息是南區其中一個主要小巴營辦商進智公交已開始在新購入的小巴車身側面安裝電子顯示屏。

[21/1/2019]
35 years ago, when I first came to Hong Kong, people ran to the front of the minibuses to see its route number. Today, this is still the case. We raised this in 2015 in the District Council and LegCo and again this week. If we can’t be a smart city when it comes to simple things, how can we be smart about bigger issues. We have received promises from Transport Department that they will now fix this, Let’s see.

35年前，我初到香港的時候小巴乘客經常要走到車輛前方看看是哪一條路線。35年後情況沒有改變。我們於2015年的區議會會議及立法會聽證會上要求政府解決此問題，星期一的區議會會議我們再次討論此議題。所謂智慧城市理應能解決這個非常簡單的事宜。運輸署承諾會處理並解決此問題。

Minibus 28

12/5/2017

[12/5/2017]
Following our complaint letter in March 2017 the Transport Department has conducted their own surveys and concluded that the service problems are serious. This week, we held a meeting with the operator and Transport Department. The next step is for them to identify solutions which are technically feasible and acceptable to residents in both Pokfulam and Kennedy Road. We have asked them to respond within 2 months.

繼我們三月份去信運輸署投訴28號小巴脫班問題後，署方進行了班次調查確認情況嚴重。今個星期我們與營運商及署方會面跟進。運輸署及營運商正在尋求改善方案，並研究其可行性及方案能否得到薄扶林及堅尼地道居民的支持。我們要求署方兩個月內提出初步方案。

[2/4/2017]
Owing to the consistently poor service and management, we have lodged a complaint with the Transport Department with records of 45 lost trips and 20 buses skipping the Lower Baguio stops. We asked Transport Department to issue a final warning to the operator and to come up with a plan of actions to improve the services.

由於28號小巴服務持續欠佳，我們最近去信運輸署投訴並提供具體數據包括45次脫班及共20班車未有落下碧瑤。我們要求運輸署向營運商發出最後警告及交出改善服務的方案。

Minibus 8 service changes 8號小巴服務調整

23/12/2016

We have submitted feedback from residents and our bus stop surveys conducted at Lower Baguio and HKU station. In response Transport Department has added a 8:20am departure for the new minibus 8 schedule which will come into effect on 25 December 2016.

Minibus 8 will be limited to three morning departures at 7:40am, 8:20am and 8:40am from Monday to Friday.
8X will continue, with frequency improving from 10-20 minutes to 10-15 minutes, and 10-12 minutes to 10 minutes during evening peak. The first 8X bus will depart at 6:30am instead of 7:10am.
Passengers for Bonham Road and Caine Road can use 8X and interchange to minibus 10 and 31 at HKU MTR with a fare concession: 90 cents for the onward journey on minibus 10 or 31 (total fare of $8.50 + $0.90 = $9.40).
Returning passengers may take minibus 10 and 31 along Caine Road and Bonham Road and interchange to 8X at HKU MTR station at NIL cost for the onward journey (total fare of $8.0).

Transport Department Link:

就早前運輸署的公眾諮詢，我們已將從居民收集到的意見連同於下碧瑤及港大站進行班次調查的數據交給署方。運輸署其後決定由早上兩班8號服務改為三班，即增加了早上8時20分的服務，並於2016年12月25日起生效。服務調整詳情：

8號小巴的班次將會縮減至星期一至星期五早上三班服務：上午7時40分、上午8時20分及上午8時40分
8X 將會繼續提供服務，其™š班次將會由現時每10-20分鐘一班增強至每10-15分鐘一班，而下午繁忙時段的班次將會由現時每10-12分鐘一班增強至每10分鐘一班。另外，8X的頭班車會由早上7時10分提前至早上6時30分開出。
營運商會提供轉乘優惠，由下碧瑤往般含道或堅道的乘客可乘坐8X到港大站（＄8.50）轉乘10號或31號小巴（＄0.90）前往目的地。總車資為＄9.40。
如從堅道或般含道前往碧瑤灣，乘客可乘坐10號或31號到港大站，然後轉乘8X。由於第一程的車資為＄8正，第二程（8X）將不需繳付任何車資。

Baguio Villa Minibus Services 小巴服務 - 8號及28號

5/11/2015

[Update 跟進消息 - 5 February 2016 ]

We are awaiting proposals from the Transport Department (TD) addressing problems encountered with the 8 and 28 services to and from Baguio Villas.

The online petition in November 2015 resulted in 250 submissions to TD urging improvements. My office has also regularly submitted reports of surveys conducted at bus stops and along the route.

In response, TD conducted its own surveys in December 2015 of the demand and actual operating frequency of the 8 and 28. The TD is now reviewing the information and various proposals.

First, there is proposal for the 28 to go direct from Caine Road to Kennedy Road without passing through the congested Ice House Street. This would reduce the journey time by 15-20 minutes and help improve the frequency. The shorter route would also help retain drivers who are unhappy with the long time between rest stops. Residents at Kennedy Road however would lose their service from Central, and changes to the 28 require consensus and no-objection from as many as three district councils.

The second proposal is from the 8 operator who wants to run the 8X only. This is unacceptable unless Transport Department can resolve the availability of seats between Caine Road, Bonham Road, HKU Station and Baguio Villa.

The third proposal, a merger of the 8 and 28 services appears to be too complicated.

Last week we sent a letter to TD (click here) urging them to come up with workable proposals, and to present these to you – the residents - soonest.

我們正在等待運輸署提交改善8號及28號小巴服務的具體方案。

2015年11月我們發起網上聯署信行動後，運輸署共收到超過250份居民遞交的簽名及意見。其後我們亦有繼續向署方就班次及服務問題作出投訴。

運輸署於2015年12月進行了一系列的班次調查，以便他們制訂改善8號及28號小巴服務的具體方案。

當中研究的方案包括28號改行28S路線，由堅道直接駛往堅尼地道，不經雪廠街及中環交通擠塞的路段。此方案能將車程路線及時間縮短大概15至20分鐘，有助改善實際班次並吸引新司機應徵。然而堅尼地道的居民會損失唯一由中環往堅尼地道的服務。另外，任何路線改動需要得到三個區議會的同意或不反對。

8號營運商早前向運輸署申請以8X完全取代8號服務。於現在28號服務不足的情況下，在般咸道、堅道及港大港鐵站候車返回碧瑤灣的乘客可能會面對上不到車的問題。署方需研究方案照顧碧瑤灣居民及學生往返該帶的需要。

最後，合併8號和28號服務牽涉很多複雜問題。

我們已於上星期去信（英文版信件連結）要求運輸署盡快與居民會面並交代改善方案。

Thank you for your support, we have received over 250 online signatures for the campaign below.
We will keep you posted on the discussions with Transport Department and the operators.

謝謝各位參與我們的網上聯署，一共收到超過250個簽名。我們會向大家匯報跟進進度。
