MANAGEMENT REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

REVENUE AND OPERATING COSTS
I
n the year under review, revenue and operating costs respectively increased by
18.1% and 17%, as compared with the previous year. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the slight increase in ridership of 0.2% and to the fare increase of 14.7% effected on 31st March, 1991. The increase in operating costs was mainly attributed to increases in salaries and wages, which accounted for over 55% of KMB's total operating costs. The high rate of inflation in 1991, higher government duty on diesel fuel, rental of temporary depots, rates and some tunnel charges all contributed to increased operating costs. The cost of
new buses and spare parts also increased during the
year.
