天星小輪明年2月起每程加價三毫至五毫
行政長官會同行政會議昨日(8日)批准天星小輪旗下「中環來往尖沙咀」和「灣仔來往尖沙咀」兩條專營渡輪航線加價。成人、小童及殘疾人士每程票價將會加三角至五角,其中中環來往尖沙咀線周一至五上層成人票價,將由2.7元加至3.2元,新收費將由明年2月9日起生效。
政府發言人表示,天星小輪自2018年起一直錄得虧損。由於天星小輪是不少旅客經常選乘的一種交通工具,在社會事件及2019冠狀病毒病疫情影響下,去年及今年的乘客量以至票務收入均大幅下跌,而預計在短中期內重返以往水平的機會不大。此外,自上次於2017年7月加價以來,天星小輪的營運成本持續上漲,加上經濟前景不明朗,非票務收入(包括租金及廣告收入)並無保證。故此,天星小輪實有需要調整收費。
