School traffic in Pokfulam 薄扶林的學校交通

7/9/2022

We received many complaints from road users and public transport passengers over the school traffic in Pokfulam. With international schools resuming classes the commuting time during school peak hours has gone up by 15 minutes or more. Bus and minibus services suffer lost trips as they are stuck on the road.

We have written to the Education Bureau, Planning Department, Transport Department asking them:

To withdraw plans for the previously proposed international school in Sandy Bay (link in 2019)
To come up with specific plan to alleviate school traffic in Pokfulam
To review claims by traffic consultants that ‘proposed development would not cause significant traffic impacts to the surrounding roads and junctions’
To review all planned and future developments in the Pokfulam area for impact on traffic

隨着多間國際學校於上個月開學，區內道路於上學及放學時段非常擠塞，行車時間增加15分鐘以上。我們收到多名巴士及小巴乘客投訴服務脫班。

我們已去信教育局、規劃署及運輸署，要求他們：

撤回於大口環增設一所國際學校的計劃（見2019年報導）
交代如何舒緩薄扶林的學校交通擠塞
檢視所有由交通顧問於交通影響評估報告中作出的聲明：「相關發展不會為鄰近道路及路口帶來顯著影響」
檢視區內所有計劃中及未來發展項目所帶來的交通影響

School traffic is back 學校交通

16/5/2022

Schools are back and the rainy season is here. This at the same time as people returning to normal work schedules. The result is increased congestion and slower traffic. With increased risk of delays with minibus and bus services stuck in traffic, residents are urged to leave earlier than they were used. The situation will likely remain so until the international schools finish their school term mid-June onwards.

學校復課、雨季來臨及上班一族復工，區內道路於上下午時段出現擠塞，小巴及巴士的實際班次亦受到影響，請大家預留額外時間出門。相信情況會維持一個月，區內的國際學校會於六月中起放暑假。
