The scheme, which has involved the private motorist, goods
vohicles as well as mini-buses, is a bold move to improve the traffic
-
flow in the heavily congested Central District and it has proved
successful.
There has been a noticeable easing in the flow of traffic
particularly in Queen's Road Central, Des Voeux Road Central, Connaught
Road Central and Ice House Street.
"Apart from improving traffic conditions, the area near Statue
Square will be required for mass transit works early next year," the
spokesman added.
He said that the mini-bus operators have known about the removal
of the stand for almost a year. Only last month they were informed that
its closure was imminent.
