【兩蚊優惠實名化？】

政府宣佈長者及殘疾人士兩蚊乘車優惠會於下個財政年度擴展至 60-64 歲人士。不過，受惠者將需持有「個人八達通」（有相）實名乘車。另外，政府亦考慮逐步要求 65 歲或以上長者亦需持有「個人八達通」方可享有兩蚊乘車優惠。

除個人私隱問題外，政府亦未有提出具體方案解決「長線短搭」問題。

Government announced the promotion of "$2 concessionary public transport fare" to 60-64 years old citizens. However, they will be required to hold a "Personal Octopus Card" (with photo) to enjoy the concessionary fare. On the other hand, they are considering to require elderly of 65 years old and above to register Personal Octopus Card in order to continue enjoy $2 concessionary fare.

Apart from personal privacy, they have made no effort to solve elderly from "long route, short ride".

【南區 69 專線欲增設經薄扶林特別車】

運輸署發出有關公共小型巴士（專線）第 69 及 69A 號服務調整的「諮詢」文件，當中進智公交希望增設 69 專線之特別車，途經薄扶林及中環—灣仔繞道前往北角、鰂魚涌。諮詢文件所示之特別車只設傍晚六時十分數碼港開出一架。

按照上年度巴士路線計劃，新巴將會增設 33X 下午繁忙時間由數碼港開往西灣河之服務。如此項專線改動獲准實施，將與新巴行將增加的 33X 班次完全重疊。新巴可能因此未能在乘客量有所增長的情況下再行加班。當 69 專線取代新巴加班，薄扶林道沿線往東區，以至原有田灣、香港仔、黃竹坑往東區的乘客將只能望車興嘆。

上月，中西區區議員已在交運會會議要求加強大口環、數碼港巴士服務，早日打破壟斷。如今 69 專線對 33X 巴士服務構成惡性競爭，恐怕壟斷情況將會加劇。

Transport Department is now carrying out "consultation" on the suggested amendment towards Public Light Bus (Scheduled) No. 69 & 69A. Aberdeen Maxicab Service (hereinafter referred to as "AMS") would like to add a special trip for No. 69 plying from Cyberport to Quarry Bay via Pokfulam and Central-Wanchai Bypass at 18:10 every Monday to Fridays.

According to last year's Bus Route Planning Programme, NWFB will be providing No. 33X from Cyberport to Sai Wan Ho (via Pokfulam, Central-Wanchai Bypass & Quarry Bay) in the evening. The addition fo PLB 69 special trip will be a 100% overlap to NWFB 33X. As a result, 33X will NEVER be able to have more tr
