 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 。

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。 
 The bus departed from Cyberport at 07:45 and passed by Bel-Air a few minutes later. The bus arrived at HKU MTR station at 08:07, North Point Java Road at 08:15, Quarry Bay near Taikoo Place at 08:26, Cityplaza at 08:30 and terminus in Sai Wan Ho at 08:32. Keep in mind that traffic was relatively light today as Easter travel has started. Click here for the service details. Note that this 7:45am departure is a Monday to Friday service (except public holidays). 今早33X巴士正式投入服務，早上7時45分由數碼港開出，數分鐘後途經貝沙灣、8時07分到達港大站、8時15分到達北角渣華道街市、8時26分到達鰂魚涌太古坊附近、8時30分到達太古城中心及8時32分到達尾站西灣河。因部分市民開始放復活節長假期，今日的道路交通相對暢順。請按連結了解33X的路線詳情。請注意此早上7時45分的特別班次只於星期一至五提供服務（公眾假期除外）。

The above changes will take effect on 3 October 2017 (Tuesday). Transport Department will review the patronage at the end of the two months trial period. You may refer to the official notice for details. 由於長期脫班及收到眾多投訴，運輸署宣佈28號小巴由2017年10月3日（星期二）起開始以以下方式營運，試行期為兩個月：

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。
