 OrdinaryGweilo.com: On the buses
In fact, bus companies and their passengers pay dearly for using roads in Hong Kong, in the form of a congestion (time) charge that serves to increase operating costs and thereby directly impacts upon fares.
This penalty is, of course, mitigated to a great extent by the superior comfort of bus travel in Hong Kong, with most passengers being conveniently chauffeured from door to door in an individual seat space that is climate- controlled, inviting and altogether very relaxing.
And if congestion is such a big concern to you, why is it that the franchised bus companies have built up their bus fleets to such a size that the number of passengers they carry per bus is barely half of what it was 20 years ago although the buses are now larger?
