This paper seeks the views of the Traffic and Transport Committee (“T&TC”) under the Southern District Council (“SDC”) on the Revised Public Transport Re-organisation Plan (“Revised PT Plan”)(as at March 2014) to tie in with the commissioning of the South Island Line (East) (“SIL(E)”) in 2015.

Background

2. The Transport Department has commenced the consultation with T&TC on the preliminary PT Plan since July 2013. Thereafter, we have continuously received views on the PT Plan from local representatives and the public. After obtaining the views and suggestions from District Councils, Area Consultative Forums, local representatives and the public from various channels, we have followed up and reviewed the preliminary proposals in the PT Plan with the relevant public transport operators and formulated the Revised PT Plan to tie in with the commissioning of the SIL(E) (as at March 2014) in reference to the views collected. Details of the Revised PT Plan are set out in Annex 1-12.

Advice Sought

3. Members are invited to comment on the revised PT Plan (as at March 2014) proposed for the Southern District to tie in with the commissioning of the SIL(E).

Transport Department March 2014 Annex 1 Revised Public Transport Re-organisation Plan to tie in with the Commissioning of the SIL(E)

Re-organisation of CTB 48, 71 and 75

I. Background

It is expected that upon the commissioning of the SIL(E), some residents in and Shum Wan who are taking bus service to Sheung Wan and Central or interchange at there with railway service will switch to more convenient feeder service to reach the SIL(E) stations nearby (such as ) and resulting in ridership loss of the captioned routes. Thus, it is necessary to re-organise them to tie in with the commissioning of the SIL(E).

At present, XHT 671 travels via Kowloon East, Eastern District, Wan Chai and Southern District. The journey is long and circuitous whilst the route also has to travel via a number of congested roads. It caused a low patronage of the route in most of the time daily. Due to overlapping of most of the service areas with railway in future, it is expected that some passengers of this route may switch to take railway service and its patronage will drop upon the commissioning of the SIL(E).

Details of Existing Services

XHT 671：：： Terminating Points Ap Lei Chau (Lee Lok Street) – Diamond Hill Station Peak Headway 12-22 minutes Off-peak Headway 16-27 minutes Average Peak Patronage 80% Average Off-peak 47% Headway Full Fare Per Single Trip $11.1 Service Hours From Ap Lei Chau: From 6.25 am to 8.15 pm on Mondays to Saturdays From 7.30 am to 7.45 pm on Sundays and public holidays

From Diamond Hill: From 6.30 am to 8.15 pm on Mondays to Saturdays From 7.30 am to 7.45 pm on Sundays and public holidays Number of Vehicles 10 air-conditioned double-deckers 1 air-conditioned single-decker

II. Re-organisation Proposal

2. In the first round consultation, we have proposed to cancel the route and replace the service with railway service and existing bus services (including BBI arrangements).

22

III. First Round Public Consultation and Revised Proposals

3. During the first round consultation, we have received valuable views from district councilors, local representatives and residents on the proposal, including the request for direct bus service between Southern District and Kowloon East and the concerns about the efficiency of the existing routeing of XHT 671. Our initial response to the major comments are set out below：

(1) The route cancellation will be shelved. In lieu it is proposed to operate three express dual-directional depatures between Ap Lei Chau (Lei Lok Street) and Kwun Tong Ferry in morning and evening peak periods on Mondays to Fridays (except public holidays)；and

(2) It is proposed to revise the terminal points of the route to ply between “Ap Lei Chau (Lee Lok Street) and Kwun Tong Ferry”. Meanwhile, it is proposed to divert the route via Cross Harbour Tunnel (no stopping at the tunnel toll plaza), Kai Tak Tunnel and business area in Kowloon Bay. It will provide a more direct access between Southern District and Kowloon East. The route will be re-numbered to XHT 176.

4. Please refer to Appendix for details of the revised proposals.

I. Background

The routes in this package mainly serve between Stanley and the northshore of Hong Kong Island/ the western areas of Southern District. With reference to the experience of new railway commissioning, the passengers travelling pattern will change. It is anticipated that upon the commissioning of SIL(E), more residents in Stanley, Chung Hom Kok, and Deep Water Bay will switch to take feeder services to connect to SIL(E) stations, such as Wong Chuk Hang Station or . Therefore, it is necessary to re-organise these routes.

Annex 9

Revised Public Transport Re-organisation Plan to tie in with the Commissioning of the SIL(E)

Re-organisation of XHT 973 & 973P

I. Background

The operation efficiency of XHT 973 and XHT 973P is not satisfactory and the patronage is not high. It is expected that upon the commissioning of SIL (E), some of the passengers will switch to new railway services and lead to a further drop of reidership for the routes. Therefore, there is a need for service re-organisation to improve the operation efficiency of this route package.

Details of Existing Services

XHT 973: Terminating Points Stanley - Tsim Sha Tsui (Mody Road) Peak Headway 15-24 minutes Off-peak Headway 15-20 minutes Average Peak Patronage 69% Average Off-peak 46% Patronage Full Fare Per Single Trip $13.6 Service Hours From Tsim Sha Tsui: From 8.30 am to 10.05 pm on Mondays to Saturdays From 8.00 am to 10.05 pm on Sundays and public holidays

II. Re-organisation Proposals

2. In the first round consultation, we have put forward the following re-organisation proposals for these routes:

(1) To amalgamate the morning peak only supplementary service XHT 973P with its main route XHT 973;

(2) To divert XHT 973 via Aberdeen Tunnel and Cross Harbour Tunnel and re-numbered the route as XHT 173. Besides, the bus company has proposed to offer a new Octopus BBI scheme of CTB 73 and CTB 71 to facilitate passengers plying between Stanley and Pok Fu Lam Road/ Western District.

III. First Round Public Consultation and Revised Proposals

3. During the first round consultation, we have received valuable views from different district councilors, local representatives and residents. Our initial response to the major comments are set out below：

(1) The diversion of XHT 973 via Aberdeen Tunnel and Cross Harbour Tunnel will be shelved. In other words, the existing routeing via Southern District (Pok Fu Lam Road), Western District and Western Cross Crossing will be maintained. Meanwhile, the headway of XHT 973 will be adjusted to 30 minutes after morning peak period ; and

(2) To maintain the amalgamation of XHT 973P with its main route XHT 973. Meanwhile, three depatures of XHT 973 from Stanely will be diverted via Shum Wan and their departure times will be advanced for about 10 minutes (i.e. to depart at 6.55 am, 7.20 am and 7.42 am). Therefore, passengers’s arrival time at Kowloon and subsequent depatures from Tsim Sha Tsui will not be affected.

Annex 10 Revised Public Transport Re-organisation Plan to tie in with the Commissioning of the SIL(E)

Proposed Cancellation of Franchised Bus Routes whilst Services to be Replaced by Alternative Public Transport Services

I. Background

Upon the commissioning of the SIL(E), it is anticipated that some of the residents in Southern District who are now taking bus services will switch to take the railway service conveniently at nearby SIL(E) stations. Some routes having significant overlapping of service areas with the new railway will suffer a drop in ridership. Therefore, we suggest to cancel several routes to tie in with the commissioning of SIL(E) and provide replacement by alternative public transport services. Details of the four concerned routes are set out as below:

Route Origin - Existing Road-based Destination Peak Alternative Public Transport Service Headway (Minutes) CTB 47P Kennedy Three trips Residents from Kennedy Town/ Victoria Road Town from 6:45 heading for Southern District could take the (Morning (Belcher am to 8:00 following services： peak only Bay) to am on ò MTR service from Kennedy Town to Wong service) Wong Chuk Mondays to Chuk Hang Station via Admiralty Station Hang Saturdays ò NWFB 971 [Hoi Lai Estate – Shek Pai Wan] (except ò CTB 43M [Tin Wan – Shek Tong Tsui (near public Hill Road)] (Cir.) holidays) ò GMB 58 [Aberdeen (Wu Nam Street) – Kennedy Town] ò GMB 59 [Kennedy Town – Shum Wan Road] CTB 629 & Admiralty 5/10 Except the railway service plying between Ocean Supplementary (West) (public Park and Admiralty, passenger could take the Services – Ocean holiday) following bus services on Wong Chuk Hang Road CTB 629A Park ()： (Ocean Park to ò CTB 6X [Stanley Prison – Central (Exchange Central Square)] (3 PM trips) ò CTB 260 [Stanley Prison – Central (Exchange & Square)] CTB 629S (Admiralty (West) to Ocean Park (Tai Shue Wan) (3 AM trips)

[Remarks for Franchised Bus Services: The proposal raised in the first round consultation for re-routeing of CTB 95C (Ap Lei Chau Estate - Chi Fu Fa Yuen (Cir.)) will be shelved in this Revised PT Plan.]

35

Annex 11 Revised Public Transport Re-organisation Plan to tie in with the Commissioning of the SIL(E)

Frequency Adjustments of Franchised Bus Routes Subject to Changes in Ridership

I. Background

Same as the PT Plan to tie in with the commissioning of West Island Line, in the light of the expected changes in ridership upon the commissioning of the new railway, some franchised bus routes may, apart from re-routeing, only have to adjust their frequencies according to the actual changes in ridership without further service re-organisation.

II. First Round Public Consultation

2. During the first round consultation, concerns have been raised by district councillors, local representatives and residents about the impossibility of carrying out accurate assessment on ridership before the opening of the new railway. They expect that clear guidelines on frequency adjustments will be provided for their reference.

3. It should be noted that all bus frequency adjustments will be implemented according to the actual changes in ridership upon the commissioning of the new railway. We will closely monitor the changes in passengers’ travel demands by then, including carrying out site inspections to collect data of changes in ridership and implementing adjustments progressively within around three months taking into account the actual situation.

4. Frequency adjustments of franchised bus routes will be implemented in accordance with the established guidelines as follows:

Frequency Improvement

If the occupancy rate of any bus route reaches 100% during any half hour of the peak period and 85% during that one hour, or reaches 60% during the busiest one hour of the off-peak period, consideration will be given to the deployment of more vehicles to improve the service level. In increasing the vehicle allocation, priority will be given to redeploying vehicles saved from other rationalisation measures.

Frequency Reduction

If the average occupancy rate of an individual route is below 85% during the peakiest half hour of the peak period, or below 30% during the off-peak period, consideration will be given to reducing bus deployment and frequencies of those routes. Railway feeder routes, socially essential routes, and routes with peak headways at 15 minutes or more and off-peak headway at 30 minutes or more will be considered on individual merits.

36

5. To tie in with the commissioning of the SIL(East), we will closely monitor the ridership of thirteen franchised bus routes in the Southern District and make timely adjustments in the light of changes in ridership. Following the established practice, the bus companies will publicise the arrangements at bus stops and revise the schedules of service as appropriate for passengers’ information. Details of these routes are listed as follows:

Route Origin- Existing Existing Peak Existing Average Destination Number of Headway Peak Patronage Vehicles (Minutes) CTB 37A Chi Fu Fa Yuen – 8 5-12 84% Central (Cir.) CTB 37X Chi Fu Fa Yuen – 9 5-11 86% (Morning peak Central (Cir.)

Annex 12

Revised Public Transport Re-organisation Plan to tie in with the Commissioning of the SIL(E)

Proposals relating to Green Minibus (GMB) Service

I. Background

In view of the expected changes in ridership upon the commissioning of the new railway, it is necessary to adjust some GMB services in the districts, including introducing new short-working GMB routes to provide passengers with feeder service to new railway stations.

II. First Round Public Consultation and Revised Proposals

2. During the first round consultation, it is noted that many residents are highly concerned about the GMB service levels in the districts and they generally support the proposed introduction of new short-working GMB routes. In addition, some residents have proposed that the role of GMB as feeder service to railway stations should be enhanced in where railway network has yet covered. Our responses to the major comments are set out below:

(i) Proposed Feeder Service Enhancement to New Railway Stations

Origin-Destination Proposed Arrangements Proposed new It is proposed to introduce a new whole day short-working short-working service： service GMB 4M under existing GMB 4A (Aberdeen (Nam Wong Chuk Hang Station- Ning Street) – Causeway Bay (Cannon Street). The Shek Pai Wan Estate short-working service will travel via Aberdeen. The proposed fare is $4.6. Please refer proposed service details to Appendix. Proposed new It is proposed to introduce a new whole day short-working short-working service： service GMB 40M under existing GMB 40 (Stanley – Ocean Park Station - Stanley Causeway Bay). The short-working service will travel via Repulse Bay. The proposed fare is $7.3. Please refer proposed service details to Appendix. Proposed new It is proposed to introduce a new whole day short-working short-working service： service GMB 52M under existing GMB 52 (Stanley Prison – Wong Chuk Hang Station - Aberdeen (Shek Pai Wan)). The short-working service will Stanley travel via Repulse Bay. The proposed fare is $7.3. Please refer proposed service details to Appendix. Proposed Re-routeing： It is proposed to extend GMB 69A to Wong Chu Hang Station GMB 69A in order to facilitate residents of Cyberport, Wah Fu, Tin Wan Cyberport – Aberdeen (Cir.) and Aberdeen to take rail service. The route will still be operated in a circular route and the proposed fare is $5.0. Please refer proposed service details to Appendix.

38

(ii) Proposed Frequency Adjustments Subject to Changes in Ridership

3. To tie in with the commissioning of the SIL(E), the operating conditions of the fourteen GMB routes in the Southern District will be closely monitored. Following the established practice, we will also closely observe their ridership and service levels and ensure that the provision of service is in compliance with the schedules of services while meeting passengers’ demands. Furthermore, we will follow up the service levels with GMB operators and make timely adjustments with reference to the actual ridership. Details of these GMB routes are listed as follows:
