'Having to get on and off more in order to transfer can be
physically taxing for the elderly.'
MR WONG WENG FAI: 'I refer to Monday's report,
'Govt to review long bus routes'. Many of us are concerned that
splitting up long routes may lead to higher bus fares overall.
Also, having to get on and off more in order to transfer can be
physically taxing for the elderly. Rather than a blanket removal of
all long-haul routes, perhaps they can be reduced or confined to
certain operating hours. Also, private bus companies should be
given the option to run such routes.'
