Clear the Air says: This is what they need in Central, Causeway Bay and Mongkok with only hybrid , electric or Euro VI buses plying the busy routes like Nathan Road and other designated Clean Air Zones.

The first working day at the new bus transit station in Tuen Mun went off smoothly – although a few passengers did board the wrong vehicle.

The Siu Lam station was officially opened on Boxing Day and most of the passengers then were enjoying a holiday.

“The bus transit is still at a preliminary stage and the Transport Department will decide whether to remove some of the routes after getting feedback,” said acting transport commissioner Caroline Yip Lai-ching, adding that more than 100 passengers used the facility yesterday.

Kowloon Motor Bus deputy managing director Evan Auyang said commuters generally found the service more convenient than the MTR.

However, some passengers said they were confused and want better signs to direct them to the correct buses.

For instance, KMB Route 61M, which originally went to Lai King, now uses the facility as the final stop. This confused some passengers who wondered how they could reach their destinations.

Another bus transit towards Tuen Mun town is under construction and is expected to open in the second half of next year.
