Transport Department has published the Bus Route Planning Programme for Southern District 2022-2023, its annual review of bus routes. They propose extending bus 30X to run between Cyberport and Admiralty. Click here for the paper on 30X and here on the full paper on bus routes in the Southern District. One double decker bus would be added to keep the existing headway at 15-20 minutes. The new full fare would be $8.2 but for passengers going to/getting off at Central, the fare would remain at $7.7 if you use the same octopus card when alighting the bus. The stop at Exchange Square will be replaced by the stops at Connaught Place outside the general post office or Connaught Road Central outside Statue Square depending on the bound. The target implementation date would be the third quarter of 2022. Feel free to give me your comments via info@paulzimmerman.hk.
運輸署發佈了「2022-2023年度南區巴士路線計劃」,當中建議將 30X 延長至金鐘。請按連結瀏覽有關30X的詳情及連結瀏覽整份南區巴士路線計劃。巴士公司將會投放多一架雙層巴士以維持現有每15至20分鐘的班次。建議全程收費為$8.20,同時會設置雙向分段收費,往返中環的車資維持於$7.7(落車時需使用同一張八達通卡拍卡)。交易廣場的巴士站將會被康樂廣場郵政總局及干諾道中近大會堂取代。當局預計最快於2022 年第三季落實。歡迎將你的意見電郵至 info@paulzimmerman.hk 。
