The Working Group proposes that the mechanism for the renewal or cancellation of Passenger Services Licenses (PSL) should be used more frequently as a means of rewarding or penalizing GMB operators in the light of their performance.
It also recommends that consideration should be given to the introduction of a scheme to roll forward the PSL to provide an incentive for operators to maintain a good performance, and to re-tender a package of routes if the performance of the operator remains unsatisfactory after warnings have been issued.
TAC members will discuss the conclusions and recommendations with the PLB trade, and the draft report willnoted the Working Group's conclusions and recommendations, and would discuss with the PLB trade. The draft report would also be forwarded to the Legislative Council Panel for Transport and District Boards to seek members' views.
