More Seats on the Minibus 增加小巴座位

Tired of waiting for a minibus with empty seats?

Waiting for a minibus can sometimes be longer than the journey itself. 

The previous increase in seat capacity took place in 1988 when government amended regulations to increase the number from 14 to 16.

Over the past 26 years, our population has grown by 1.6 million, or 28.5%. Yet, under pressure from the bus and taxi operators, government has held on to the view that minibuses are only auxiliary transport and any increase of seats could have a negative impact for the other transport operators.

The time has come to change this. The Government is conducting a public transport strategy study. With your support we will lobby the Government and Legislative Council for “More seats on the minibus!”. 

The other benefits? Increased revenue per vehicle and per driver will allow the industry to improve the service quality, while controlling fare adjustments. It will also provoke early retirement of old buses and reduce air pollution as only new vehicles can accommodate additional seats.

小巴常常滿座？

等候小巴時間可能比整體車程更長。

上一次增加小巴座位已經是1988年的事，當時由14座增加到16座。

過往26年我們的人口增長了160萬，幅度為28.5％。然而，基於巴士及的士業界利益的考慮，政府仍然將小巴定性為輔助交通工具，一直未有增加小巴座位數目。

網上聯署要求增加小巴座位

機會千載難逢，政府現正進行公共交通策略研究。我們發起了網上聯署要求當局增加小巴座位。收集簽名後，我們會去信政府及立法會表達訴求。 

增加小巴座位能提升小巴業界的前景，改善司機收入及質素，並鼓勵營運商淘汰舊車以便增加座位，從而減少碳排放。 

網上聯署，一齊要求增加小巴座位。
