New shelters for Amaral bus stations

The government will cap the bus interchange stations in Praça de Ferreira do Amaral with shelters, the Director of the Transport Bureau (DSAT), Kelvin Lam Hin San, said in a reply to legislator Chan Meng Kam’s enquiry.
According to Mr. Lam, the new design work on the bus interchange stations on the Peninsula has already kicked off. The plan includes constructing larger shelters and adjusting the lanes of the bus stations in order to improve current traffic conditions as well as optimising waiting platforms for passengers, Mr. Lam said.
The legislator queried what plans and measures were in place to improve the waiting environment at the bus interchange stations at Praça de Ferreira do Amaral. He also asked how the government could manage the high volume of passengers during peak hours at the bus station.
Mr. Lam said the city’s bus companies have been required to dispatch officers to assist passengers boarding buses at the stations during peak hours. In addition, he said the Bureau encourages the bus companies to set up rooms for drivers to rest during their breaks.
