Meanwhile, the standard and level of bus and ferry
services has continued to be improved through more effective
planning and monitoring of the five-year plans of the
franchised bus and ferry companies. Between them, they now
carry about 4.3 million passengers per day. In addition,
studies are also undertaken on a regular basis to identify
deficiencies of public transport, services. One example is
the further study of cross-harbour public transport services
to commence later this year.
The Government also maintains an intermodal
coordination policy which aims at maximising the use of the various transport modes. The policy allows for adjustment of
services to cope with the changing congestion situation. An
obvious example is the overcrowding currently experienced
along certain MTR stations along the Nathan Road corridor
during the peak of the morning peak. To cope with passenger
demand at this critical period, alternative public transport
services have been and will be provided. For example,
frequencies of cross-harbour bus services and feeder bus
services to ferry concourses are being increased as far as
necessary.
