Monthly ticket renewal time again...

Thank you, dear Official Court Monthly Ferry Ticket Reminderer!

You are indeed one of our longest-serving and most loyal Court Officials, dear Samson. Since you were officially appointed in this topic on Fri, Jul 30, 2004, 7:27am, you have dutifully and reliably reminded us every single month to renew our monthly ferry ticket, for 3.5 years now!

Should we award an Official Court Medal of Honour for Long-time, Loyal Service?

[Samson]

Thanks Gung - that's such an Official Court Honor!

Though I doubt that any one is interested in paying up for their monthly tickets right now, but the dates are below anyway:
Feb 28 - Mar 1 (Thu - Sat)
Central Pier: 8am - 1pm; 2pm - 6pm
Yung Shue Wan Pier: 5pm - 11pm

Mar 2 (Sun)
Central Pier: 9am - 1pm; 2pm - 6pm
Yung Shue Wan Pier: 5pm - 11pm

The great honour from the Gung seemed to have overwhelmed me... may be a little late now, but if you still want to renew your monthly ticket, you still got tomorrow (April 2). Between 8am and 1pm, then 2pm and 6pm in Central, and from 5pm to 11pm in Yung Shue Wan...

Oops... out of all the excitement of moving house and the agonizing three-week wait for PCCW customer call centre to confirm that broadband access is possible at my new patch, I just realised this topic hasn't been updated for two months already! Shame on me...

Anyway, if you haven't powered up your monthly ticket for June, you've pretty much missed the final 531 month. I look forward to reminding you all to get your monthly fix (at 580 for YSWers) of neither fast nor slow ferry services.

Thank you, dear SENIOR Official Court Monthly Ferry Ticket Reminderer!
The SENIOR title has been awarded to you for your long and loyal service since 2004!
As a monthly ticket holder you'll have to pay 9% more from July 1, but as a slow-ferry passenger my fare will go up between 22.9% (Mon-Sat) and 28.2% (Sun).

3-week wait for PCCW to move your Broadband connection?
You beat my 2-week wait when I moved last year. But the former tenant of my new flat was already a PCCW Broadband customer, so it took them 1 week less to confirm that the flat actually has Broadband access, even though they had charged that flat for Broadband for several years already...

[Samson]

Great!! Do I get a senior's discount for ferry fares for that?

[Lamma-Gung]

YES!
You can use the child/senior turnstiles at the ferry pier from now on...
at least as long till the ferry staff nab you...

renew with $531 YSW route for one month only
只此一個月YSW仍可用$531增值

For monthly ticket users, its time for renewal again. Starting from July separate monthly ticket will apply to the two routes, the new price will be:

YSW – Central $580
SKW – Central $621

HOWEVER, for JULY only, you will still be able to renew the YSW-Central + ABD-PK-YSW route at the old price of $531.

State clearly to the ferry company staff that you need the $531 YSW monthly ticket to include the ABD-PK-YSW, otherwise you might end up with the new price.

Renewal will take place at the same ‘offices’ at Central and YSW piers

Renewal schecule( Jun - Jul):
Central Pier 4:
28, 30 Jun / 2 Jul: 0800-1800
29 Jun / 1 Jul: 0900-1800

YSW Pier:
28Jun – 2 Jul 1700-2300

月票使用者留意，七月開始，榕樹灣及索罟灣的月票將會獨立, 新價如下：

榕樹灣- 中環：$580
索罟灣- 中環：$621

然而，在七月（只此一個月），搭客仍然可以用舊價 $531 購買榕樹灣- 中環 + 香港仔- 北角村- 榕樹灣航綫的月票。

增值時，向船公司人員指明要買榕樹灣 – 中環包括香港仔航綫的 $531月票，否則他們可能會收取新票價。

增值一如既往在中環及榕樹灣碼頭的老地方進行。

增值時間：
中環碼頭：
6月28，30日/7月2日 0800-1800
6月29日/ 7月1日0900-1800
榕樹灣碼頭：
6月28日- 7月2日 1700-2300
