Govt criticised over support for ferries
11-07-2011

Legislators have criticised the government for a lack of help for the ferry operators which run the six major outlying island routes. But during a Legco Transport Panel meeting, the Undersecretary for Transport, Yau Shing-mu, said the adminstration had spent about HK$120 million on measures to reduce the operating costs of the companies.

A People Power legislator, Albert Chan, said the measures would not solve the operators long-term financial difficulties.

Thanks for the update. Do you know what the new schedule will be after 14th?

Boss, see Lamma-zine ferry story on the home page.

Basically, it'll be Option 2 of Yu Lai Fan's questionnaire, I think:

But without the 5:20am ferry and an additional late ferry around 9:30pm.

But this is all not confirmed yet, pending Transport Dept.'s decision and official announcement soon.

Does that mean nobody from Lamma wants to arrive at Aberdeen at 0555 in the morning?

Thanks LG

That's what I wondered, if it was confirmed yet, since we will be away if the changes are made. You always seem to be the first to know these things!

Many thanks

It's easy to be one of the first to know these things.
I don't rely on the grapevine or rumours, but simply ask the original, official source of the info directly, in this case HKKF or our local politicians negotiating directly with HKKF about these issues.
They're usually quite quick to reply and eager to let customers and residents know the news (and take credit if it's good news).
