MANAGEMENT

5th Schedule
KMB will examine in consultation with the Commissioner and improve

and on KMB's future development. The section will also ensure
and improve response to public complaints,

before deciding on any major changes in its organisation.)
(b) Middle Management
KMB will consider the establishment of area manager posts to
coordinate the work of depot service managers, depot traffic
managers, and the area public relations section. This will1
be tried out initially in the New Territories, based on the
Yuen Long depot and if experience shows that this form of
decentralisation works well consideration will be given to
extending the system to the depots at Kwun Tong and Lai Chi
Kok and later on to new depots planned for Sha Tin and Kowloon
Bay. This will be subject to the availability of suitably
qualified staff.
(c) Records and accounting
KMB will continue with its programme of computerising records on staff, finance, wages, and parts by computer with on-line facilities to each depot.

system of radio communication subject to the technical difficulties
with regard to reception in difficult areas being overcome.
