"(d) Reshaping Bus and PLB Services

28.

As a natural consequence of the Tsuen Wan7

extension, bus and PLB services will be modified in such

a way as to complement and supplement. it. It may also be

expected that public transport feeder services will be

introduced to link MTR Stations to passengers origins

and destinations. In due course, it will be necessary

to secure Members' agreement to revised Schedules of

routes and frequencies."

LegCo Speech by the Acting Chief Secretary (Mr. Haddon-Cave) "Mass Transit Railway System

August 1977

"Future of Bus and PLB Services

Extension to Tsuen Wan"

Messrs. T.S. LO, S.L. CHEN and James WU referred

to the question of the so-called "reshaping" of bus and

PLB services. They expressed a natural desire to know how

this "reshaping" will affect the travelling public.

Concern has also been expressed that the idea may be to

create a monopoly situation by administrative decisions

being taken to alter surface public transport fares, routes

and services in such a way as to ensure the viability of

the MTR.
