新渡輪投得三條離島航線牌照 總體票價將升4.6%
阿思達克 09-08 16:16
運輸署公布六條主要離島渡輪服務招標結果,經公開招標及評審委員會詳細評審後,新世界第一渡輪服務有限公司獲選營運中環──長洲、來往坪洲、梅窩、芝麻灣及長洲的橫水渡及中環──梅窩航線;而港九小輪有限公司則獲選營運中環──坪洲、中環──榕樹灣及中環──索罟灣航線。新批出為期五年的渡輪牌照將由2021年4月1日起生效。在新牌照期內,營辦商會提升服務水平、改善乘客設施及提供新的票價優惠。

根據招標結果,個別航線會增加清晨、晚間或繁忙時段的班次以提升服務水平。例如,大部分航線都會在星期一至星期六(公眾假期除外)加開航班。

營辦商亦會改善乘客設施,例如在碼頭內提供Wi-Fi、更換座椅和風扇、設置自助票務機等。營辦商會透過智能手機應用程式發放渡輪航線實時到達時間和剩餘座位數目資訊,以及以機器可讀格式透過政府「資料一線通」網站發放相關資訊予公眾使用。

至於票價方面,考慮到六條主要離島渡輪航線上次加價是在2017年,運輸署在招標時已規定投標者建議各項票種的票價時不得較其現行相關航線的票價水平高出超過5%,並且規定必須提供全新的票價優惠建議。獲選營辦商除了繼續實施現有包括月票及假日來回票的票價優惠外,亦會提供學生月票及多程票的新票價優惠,而成人單程票平均票價加幅則約為4.7%。新的票價安排將於新的五年牌照期起(即2021年4月1日起)生效。

新渡輪行政總裁蔡柏榮指,公司成功投得三條離島航線之渡輪服務牌照,在新冠狀病毒病的疫情肆虐下,新渡輪今年首八個月的三條離島航線渡輪服務整體載客量,較去年同期已未如理想的營運環境更見每況愈下,錄得約20%的跌幅。在新牌照下,因應營運成本的上升,總體票價平均會有約4.6%的上調,票價詳情會於來年適時公佈。(el/u) ~
