引用: " People want their individual space, and we are doing some work at the moment to see what they actually do on buses.... and you can't sleep standing up on a train. We predominately provide a seat...."

引用: "We are exploring some bus to train interchange fares.... Our route 299 will come off the slow road and onto this highway.... In effect it should be  seen as part of the railway network."

引用: "He wishes to raise the quality of miles KMB operates, not necessarily the quantity. 'Rather than chasing an unreliable 13min headway, we might like to pursue one of 15min instead. Not with fewer buses, but in a more dependable way.'"

引用: "A classic example is straightening. Over the years many compromises have been reached to appease certain constituents. So some routes that go from A to C often do so by calling in and out of B. We've have had a few cases where we can demonstrate that something like 95% of passengers would benefit from not going into B. But if we propose that, then the constituents of B are very vociferous. Nobody is telling the district council that it is actually a benefit for 95% of the people."

引用: "Buses are a big subject and our customers have a lot to say. We monitor social websites and forums. The population here is also very discerning, and is quick to tell you if you're not doing things right. We have a Facebook page and we get some interesting feedback."

引用: "'We're trying to apply that concept to on-route bus stops, which would give us more station-type interchanges. We could then market certain flows, where we'd be talking about every 5 to 10 min in and the same frequency out. We need to give more visibility to these 'invisible' interchange points, where we can offer good integration fares.' Those transfer points would be identified by giving them a different look from standard street stops. '... People should know when they can see it they can swap routes at a discount.'"

引用: "'We now have the technology... will allow us to introduce what we call two-way sectional fares.... As part of the sweeteners and rationalisation we'll be installing a second Octopus machine at the centre door. It will credit users' cards on their way off the bus.'"

引用: "KMB also wants to increase the capacity of its tri-axles and Savelli says a prototype 12.8m Enviro500 should hold 149 passengers, 10% more than the 12m version. 'If we're trying to rationalise routes, it seems sensible to get as big a bus as possible.'"

引用: "'The life expectancy of a bus is different in China. ...Two decades ago in China it was about eight years. Now there are better vehicles available, and they have moved to 13.' That is still not good enough for KMB's needs."

引用: "In Seoul, a console in each cab tells the driver exactly how many minutes the next bus on the same route is behind, and the nearest one in the front is. The driver is being told to manage the headway. That's his or her obligation. And to be honest who better to do that than KMB?"

引用: "'Another similar development will be the unveiling of a new KMB Express brand for its longer-distance services, which will differentiate two distinctly separate spheres of operations.... 'At the moment we could take two of our gold buses. They look exactly the same. One is stopping and starting all day while the other gets straight on the highway and is a completely different experience. We are trying to differentiate the market. ' "

更多坐位就已經做緊，但好壞參半
就算要加位，搵張舒服少少既凳又得唔得?
