港府下调二元乘车计划年龄至60岁 需用个人卡料明年首季起逐步落实
阿思达克 01-12 17:36
港府今日(12日)公布,负责检讨政府长者及合资格残疾人士公共交通票价优惠计划(二元优惠计划)的顾问公司已完成最终报告,并将推出优化和防止滥用的措施。政府委托的顾问公司在最终报告提出多项建议,经详细考虑後,政府决定采纳优化措施,除了在特定先决条件下扩展二元优惠计划至红色小巴、街渡和电车外,亦会下调年龄资格,惠及超过60万名60至64岁人士。

优化和防止滥用措施包括在60至64岁人士必须申请及使用特别为二元优惠计划而设、印有相片及可识别年龄的个人卡作为享用优惠的先决条件下,落实下调年龄资格;在完成向新受惠人士发出个人卡後,在随後两年内把强制使用个人卡的要求扩展至所有65岁或以上的现有受惠人士等。

此外,顾问公司指,居民巴士的服务对象主要是特定私人屋苑的业主和住户,票价由居民巴士营办商与相关物业的业主或住户团体议定,因此不建议把居民巴士服务纳入二元优惠计划。同时,顾问公司指出公众普遍支持二元优惠计划只应惠及本地长者居民,有关建议获政府采纳。

政府预计在个人卡的技术规格确定後,可於13个月内完成向大约60万名60至64岁新受惠人士分发个人卡的工作。若能顺利通过所有相关的程序(包括立法会的拨款程序),政府可在明年第一季起逐步落实下调年龄资格的措施及其他优化措施。
