Cleaning up Hong Kong’s Bus Fleet 清潔香港的巴士車隊

PRESS INVITATION

採訪邀請

Hong Kong’s franchised bus fleet is one of the biggest contributors to roadside pollution, contributing some 40% of toxic emissions during peak periods. Despite increasing public concern about the health impacts of air pollution, and the creation of a new fund to encourage cleaner public transport, the bus companies appear unwilling to clean up, and the Government has been slow to implement mandatory measures. The public is also concerned about the prospect of increasing bus fares.

香港的專營巴士車隊於路邊污染高峰時間釋出的有毒污染物佔總污染量約四成 — 是路邊污空氣染重要來源之一。儘管越來越多公眾人士關注空氣污染對健康的影響，亦已建立新的基金以鼓勵改善公共交通的污染問題；然而，巴士公司仍然不願作出行動、政府遲遲未能實施強制性措施、而市民亦非常關注未來票價上漲的前景。

Civic Exchange is holding a press briefing to explain the current framework of bus operations and to explain some of the solutions. Members of the media are warmly invited to attend.

思匯政策研究所將舉行新聞發布會，分析目前巴士業務的操作模式與及一些解決方法。現誠各界邀傳媒朋友出席採訪。
