OPENING OF BUS-ONLY LANES IN MID-LEVELS
***
TWO BUS-ONLY LANES IN THE MID-LEVELS WILL BE OPEN TO ALL VEHICLES ON SUNDAYS AND PUBLIC HOLIDAYS.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT SAID THE ARRANGEMENT WILL COME INTO EFFECT THIS SATURDAY (JANUARY 1), WHICH IS A PUBLIC HOLIDAY.
THESE BUS-ONLY LANES ARE ON THE WESTBOUND SECTION OF BONHAM ROAD FROM CAINE ROAD TO PARK ROAD AND CAINE ROAD WESTBOUND,
THE DECISION WAS REACHED AFTER A TRIAL OPENING LAST OCTOBER WHICH REVEALED THAT PUBLIC TRANSPORT WAS NOT DISRUPTED BY THE NEW MEASURES.
HOWEVER, THE BUS-ONLY LANE ON PARK ROAD WESTBOUND WILL CONTINUE TO BE ENFORCED EVEN ON GENERAL AND PUBLIC HOLIDAYS AS ITS OPENING WILL LENGTHEN BUS JOURNEY TIME, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
