BUS SAFETY - TD SAYS IT WITH POSTERS

****

+SAYING-IT-WITH-POSTERS+ IS THE LATEST SAFETY EFFORT BEING MADE BY THE TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT TO URGE COMMUTERS NOT TO BOARD FULLY-LOADED BUSES.

COLOURFUL MESSAGES - SOME IN SMALLER STICKER FORMS AS WELL - HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO BOTH FRANCHISED BUS COMPANIES TO BE CONSPICUOUSLY POSTED AT ALL TERMINI, BUS STOPS AND ON THE VEHICLES THEMSELVES.

+THE THEME OF THIS MINI ANTI-BUS OVER-LOADING CAMPAIGN IS TO EDUCATE THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC, BUS PASSENGERS, THAT A SAFER JOURNEY IS WORTH WAITING FOR, SAYS CHIEF TRANSPORT OFFICER, MRS DOROTHY CHAN.

AND SHE EMPHASISED THAT ONLY WITH THE SUPPORT AND CO-OPERATION OF THE PUBLIC, CAN THIS SAFETY EXERCISE BE A SUCCESS,

APART FROM THE OBVIOUS RISKS OF AN OVER-CROWDED BUS, DELAYS AND BREAKDOWNS FREQUENTLY RESULT, MRS CHAN SAID.

+RIDING ON BUSES NEED NOT BE AN UNPLEASANT, UNCOMFORTABLE AND STIFLING EXPERIENCE IF COMMUTERS SIMPLY EXERCISE A LITTLE PATIENCE AND DISCIPLINE BY CATCHING THE NEXT BUS, SHE ADDED.

OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS, THE POLICE WILL BE BROADCASTING THE BUS SAFETY THEME ALONG THE BUSIER ROUTES. POLICE OFFICERS WILL ALSO BE ON HAND IN CERTAIN AREAS TO SUPPORT BOTH KMB AND CMB STAFF.

KMB AND CMB WILL BE PUTTING ADDITIONAL REGULATORS AND INSPECTORS TO CONTROL PASSENGERS ON THEIR MORE CROWDED ROUTES.
