林世雄:專營巴士公司加價4%至5%屬溫和 九成車費加價不超過0.5元
行政會議審議通過本港五間專營巴士營辦商加價申請,運輸及物流局局長林世雄會見傳媒時表示,今次車費加幅大多數介乎約4%至5%,對市民而言屬比較溫和,預料加價後近九成乘客每程車費須多付不超過0.5元,每程車最多要多付1元。
他表示,各家巴士公司提出加價申請時,正值是本港第五波疫情期間,當時社會仍未知何時通關,因此當局在乘客估算上已進行最新及較全面評估,已考慮到巴士公司財政情況及經營前景,認為今次加價幅度屬溫和及合適,市民應能負擔,未來若巴士公司再有加價申請時,當局亦會繼續仔細審視。
林世雄強調,明白公共交通價格上升會對市民生活造成不便,但同時巴士公司在營運上亦需要額外資源來維持優質、高效及安全的服務,和改善員工薪酬水平及工作環境,當局未來會與巴士公司探討如何增加非票務收入,例如於巴士站頭設置快遞提取點,以及在巴士車廠增設充電設施供公眾使用等。
