港府下調二元乘車計劃年齡至60歲 需用個人卡料明年首季起逐步落實
阿思達克 01-12 17:36
港府今日(12日)公布,負責檢討政府長者及合資格殘疾人士公共交通票價優惠計劃(二元優惠計劃)的顧問公司已完成最終報告,並將推出優化和防止濫用的措施。政府委託的顧問公司在最終報告提出多項建議,經詳細考慮後,政府決定採納優化措施,除了在特定先決條件下擴展二元優惠計劃至紅色小巴、街渡和電車外,亦會下調年齡資格,惠及超過60萬名60至64歲人士。

優化和防止濫用措施包括在60至64歲人士必須申請及使用特別為二元優惠計劃而設、印有相片及可識別年齡的個人卡作為享用優惠的先決條件下,落實下調年齡資格;在完成向新受惠人士發出個人卡後,在隨後兩年內把強制使用個人卡的要求擴展至所有65歲或以上的現有受惠人士等。

此外,顧問公司指,居民巴士的服務對象主要是特定私人屋苑的業主和住戶,票價由居民巴士營辦商與相關物業的業主或住戶團體議定,因此不建議把居民巴士服務納入二元優惠計劃。同時,顧問公司指出公眾普遍支持二元優惠計劃只應惠及本地長者居民,有關建議獲政府採納。

政府預計在個人卡的技術規格確定後,可於13個月內完成向大約60萬名60至64歲新受惠人士分發個人卡的工作。若能順利通過所有相關的程序(包括立法會的撥款程序),政府可在明年第一季起逐步落實下調年齡資格的措施及其他優化措施。
