第一眼看，就覺得此線同早前炸香蕉版友post之愉景灣<-->西貢路線簡直有「異曲同工之妙」……

回正題，
首先，我覺得倒不如開一條愉景灣至青馬收費廣場路線，再同其他A/E線做轉乘會比較實際（而且可能唔需要＄４０）。
第二，一個鐘一班，有無咁大客量需求去支持呢？
第三，依你既建議，好似係想以循環線行走……６０分鐘做到嗎？

都唔係不切實際，不過係無乜可能開到既路線囉。

第三，依你既建議，好似係想以循環線行走……６０分鐘做到嗎

Sorry that 1 hour = DB to Sheung Shui / Sheung Shui to DB. #

第二，一個鐘一班，有無咁大客量需求去支持呢？

How do you know "無咁大客量需求去支持呢"? Would you please proving the point?
Actually, there are lot of DB resident working at China (day trip). It is reasonable for 1 hour frequency. (There are only ~ 40 seats per bus). #

首先，我覺得倒不如開一條愉景灣至青馬收費廣場路線，再同其他A/E線做轉乘會比較實際（而且可能唔需要＄４０）。

Refer to the DB - TST bus (club house operating period, not the city bus period), the bus alway full at the morning peak hour. How come the resident don't take ferry w/ changing MTR / bus / ferry at central? How come the resident don't change to MTR at Tung Chung? :mad::mad:

Do you know that how long for DB to LoWu / Lok Ma Chau by public transportation?

HKitalk is a place for discussing. I hope you understand how to recpect the different suggestion even it isn't as smart as yours! :mad::mad::mad:

First, we all won't know the demand,
but how likely can Discovery Bay alone can support the route?
I don't think chances are high.

Second, how about we make the frequency at 2hr.,
that is we would have departures at 0600, 0800, 1000 etc.
Because we won't start a new route off with long distance,
and unknown about its demand, at a high frequency.

Third, by having a departure every 2 hours,
we can save the number of buses that would be necessary to serve the route.
Perhaps we would just need 1 bus to serve this route first....
Try it out and see whether the route can support itself....

We are talking on the points and the ideas,
we are not pointing towards particular persons...
Hope you do not learn that this is already unfair accusation towards other broadmates.

我覺得呢條線極其量一日開兩至三班都ok
起碼我估計愉景灣居民需要條來往落馬洲/上水既路線轉車來往大陸
點都大過來往西貢既

307, I agree some of your point - we all don't know the demand.
That's why run the full service at the beginning for couple months and then adjust the schedule according to the demand. The DB - TST route did the same before.

We are talking on the points and the ideas,
we are not pointing towards particular persons...
Hope you do not learn that this is already unfair accusation towards other broadmates.

SureI hope everybody at here is discussing the point too.
However, I don't feel comfortable with "第一眼看，就覺得此線同早前炸香蕉版友post之愉景灣<-->西貢路線簡直有「異曲同工之妙」……"

I see your point,
but I don't think it would be a very good idea to start off with full day service....

Rather, we would start off at peak hours and see whether the route can support itself as a whole-day route.

It would be better if we start off with two departures at 0730 and 0800 from DB,
and two departures from Sheung Shui / Lok Ma Chau at 1800 and 1900.

Make the deal!
30 mins schedule for peak hours & 1 or 2 hours schedule at non-peak hour.

On the other hand, nobody know the demand, that why I suggest to have full day service at the beginning which as like as the club house TST route - ran full day service
at beginning & cut the afternoon service after took the data.

Finally, the route canbe operated by "Sun" bus as like as the TST route too.
It can save the DBTSL resource and easy to control.

P.S. I think the DB to Sai Kung route suggestion isn't a too bad idea. DB club house operated a Sunday reguler ferry between DB & Cheung Chau at 5 years ago.

又整條咁既愉巴線？
唔好咁玩啦～
不如開ｄ線由愉景灣去晒全港十八區丫 ..

東涌其實都冇車去上水或落馬州，
要開的話，
我覺得東涌既需求會大語愉景灣好多囉～

The market between Tung Chung & DB is different.
Different fare level & service (private & licence).

I don't mean there isn't demand for Tung Chung town,
however, this suggestion rising base on the view from DBer

Again, why you think I am joking?

I don't mean DB use to have direct connection to all the districts but at least for the major districts such as Central, TST & Sheung Shui / Lok Ma Chau.
We understand that there is trade off (longer traveling time) for living in DB,
but why DB can't operate new route to such major connection point in the city?
For the other district, we accept to drive our car or take MTR.

SSBT, I discuss the point which you posted but not point to yourself, hope you understand.
