Not a single mention of the accident or condolences on its homepage...
makes one wonder how responsible KMB is

U ever seen a company talk about its accidents on its front page?

巴士見報發生嚴重傷亡意外,
有好高比例都是與貨車或貨櫃碰撞而致,
咁多貨櫃車及貨車與巴士同時行走的公路自然較易發生,
因此解釋了西北區路線多嚴重車禍之原因,
過去例子包括265MNeoplan, 去年67X開罐 ...

有冇計過意外率幾多?

KMB is really an irresponsible company
Not a single mention in the news section
Not a single televised press conference, even after the fatal crash a few years back kil ...

Then we should publicize this fact on media and tell others to overthrow KMB, shouldn't we?
If it is doing bad, make things really bad for it is a good idea.

Sure enough, I mean it.
KMB is already not providing top services to passengers,
giving infrequent and unreliable services, torturing passengers with RoadShow,
and always involved in such bad accidents
(Citybus deal with these roads too and seems they didn't have such fatal accidents!)

Maybe if I keep seeing such comments, it's really time for revolution.

(Though I don't feel good discussing such inconvenient truth on the Chinese New Year Day)

Use your brains, where did I say overthrow KMB?

I am just saying its standard practice across the world.
A sincere expression of condolences would not "make things really bad if it  ...

Sorry, I am not talking you would do so,
I just wanted to point out your comment was quite serious actually.
(I was mentioning nothing about your intention and I have no interest to know or comment it anyway)
The incident is some kind of human life issue,
and being irresponsible for human life related incidents should not be tolerated.

And recently negative comments and incidents against KMB is really increasing,
which I think you would also notice.

P.S.
I once read a book and it said English was not a diplomatic language.
Now I know why

其實如果你們看看各國交通工具的網站，不論是重大延誤，安全事故，或嚴重意外都均會發出新聞稿。如果是地鐵/九鉄的話，更會發佈記者會（記憶中兩鉄未曾發生過乘客意外傷亡事故，但如果是嚴重安全事 ...

Yes, but almost no bus company around the world do this unless it is a really
major incident, like the AP69 crash for instance. The truth is, each year dozens of
people die or injure on a bus, or being hit by a bus. So what you are saying is, for
every single people killed by a bus, the operator would have to put a press release
out on the website. Why on earth do you want to do that, and what are you expecting
them to say then...?

With no disrespect to the death, KMB's insensitive and indifference leaves much to
desire, but that is the end of it. At this point in time, they are responsible to help
the police on the investigation, but until that is completed, they have the rights to,
rightfully, refuse accepting responsibility.

Again with no disrespect, this is a serious road traffic accident, but thinking about
it like a national disaster is just a wishful, gloss exaggeration.

這與事固發生密度亦有關係,
由巴士公司的角度去看,
如果幾個月便發生一起乘客傷亡意外,
雖然是負責任的做法,
卻擔心長期在網上發放這消息,
更易影響乘客的信心.


英國的National Express,
上月也發生了乘客死亡事故,
巴士公司發了兩篇新聞稿,
表示對意外遺憾,
但在英國乘客死亡的巴士意外並不多見.
http://www.nationalexpress.com/u ... 6_1745_04072007.cfm
http://www.nationalexpress.com/utilities/message_to_customers.cfm

像台灣和國內的巴士公司,
意外較多發生,
發生重大意外都往往不會有新聞稿的,
上海也剛發生了兩巴相撞撞死途人意外,
肇事大眾巴士雖透過媒體道歉,
但都冇在網頁發表任何表示.

又如台灣的飛狗巴士,
幾乎半年一炒車,
年年有乘客死亡,
那放聲明上網不是讓乘客更擔心乘車安全,
看回九巴的情況,
或許會較理解為何它不會或不敢將此事
放在自己的網站內交代了....
