REMOVAL OF CHATER ROAD BUS STOPS
*****
THREE BUS STOPS OUTSIDE SWIRE HOUSE IN CHATER ROAD WILL BE MOVED TO A BUS BAY OUTSIDE THE STATUE SQUARE ON FRIDAY (MAY 13).
THEY ARE THE STOPS FOR ROUTES 20, 20A AND 17.
HOWEVER, PASSENGERS INTENDING TO BOARD CMB ROUTES 10 AND 10A CAN STILL DO SO AT THE STOPS OUTSIDE SWIRE HOUSE.
THE CHANGES ARE NECESSARY DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MASS TRANSIT RAILWAY CHATER STATION.
COMMENTING ON THE CHANGES, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THE BUS STOPS OUTSIDE THE STATUTE SQUARE WITH A WIDER PAVEMENT COULD PROVIDE BETTER QUEUING FACILITIES.
HE ASKED PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERS TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL WHEN CROSSING OR PASSING THROUGH CHATER ROAD WHERE MTR TRAFFIC DIVERSIONS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED.
