The spokesman said: "The scheme was worked out having regard to views expressed in the community and by LegCo. For domestic users, 15.5 per cent will pay nothing, 55.5 per cent will pay less than $9.3 à month and 77 per cent less than $15 a month."

Passenger service at Jordan Road Ferry Pier to be relocated
The passenger service being provided at the existing Jordan Road Ferry Pier in Yau Ma Tei will be relocated to a temporary passenger ferry pier at the old Canton Road Government Dockyard shortly.
After the relocation, the existing ferry pier will be demolished to make way for Jordan Road Reclamation Phase II which forms part of the West Kowloon Reclamation project of the Airport Core Programme.
Work on the project has been under way since January last year, involving reclamation of the seabed between Jordan Road in the north and Canton Road Government Offices Building in the south to provide 4.1 hectares of land to build distributor roads to link the new Kowloon Station of the Airport Railway with the Kowloon hinterland.
The temporary pier will have a covered waiting area and purpose-built ramps and platforms.
To better serve ferry passengers, covered walkways will be provided within the old Canton Road Government Dockyard to link the covered area in the temporary ferry pier with Canton Road near the Jordan Road Bus Terminus in the north and Austin Road in the south.
The 4.5-metre wide walkways, which will be illuminated at night, will be constructed to Highways Department standards to provide easy access for passengers.
