"Traffic surveillance systems and bus only lanes are being provided in Tuen Mun Road to speed the flow of traffic, and public transport services to the area are being enhanced, for example, through the introduction of larger and faster ferries.
"We plan to increase the peak-hour capacity of ferry services between Tuen Mun and Central by 10 per cent in 1996 through the provision of one more high speed catamaran and introduce an extra Green Minibus route to the Tuen Mun ferry pier later this year," said Mr Barma.
