立法會十七題：使用隧道及公路巴士轉乘站
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
以下是今日（六月二十四日）在立法會會議上方國珊議員的提問和運輸及物流局局長陳美寶的書面答覆：
問題：
據悉現時本港大部分隧道巴士轉乘站及公路巴士轉乘站只容許專營巴士上落乘客，屯門公路巴士轉乘站及香港仔隧道巴士轉乘站是少數容許專營巴士以外的公共交通工具（如專線小巴及非專營巴士）上落乘客。就此，政府可否告知本會：
（一）現時各隧道巴士轉乘站及公路巴士轉乘站的專營巴士及非專營巴士的停泊位數目及日均乘客使用量分別為何；
（二）當局在審批開放隧道巴士轉乘站及公路巴士轉乘站予專營巴士以外的公共交通工具使用時，具體的評估準則及考慮因素為何；
（三）當局有否評估開放更多現有隧道巴士轉乘站或公路巴士轉乘站（如將軍澳隧道、大老山隧道、獅子山隧道）予其他公共交通工具使用的可行性；如有，詳情為何；如否，原因為何；
（四）當局有否檢討屯門公路巴士轉乘站及香港仔隧道巴士轉乘站的運作模式，將其運作經驗推廣至其他具備合適空間條件的轉乘站，以提升市民的轉乘選擇及出行效率；及
（五）當局會否在未來的交通基建規劃的設計階段預留空間或調整設計參數，以容許更多不同的公共交通工具使用巴士轉乘站，藉此提升交通網絡的整體連通性？
答覆：
主席：
政府的交通運輸政策以公共交通為本，鼓勵市民使用公共交通出行。就方國珊議員的問題，現回覆如下：
（一）現時各條行車隧道及公路的巴士轉乘站只設有專營巴士上落客停車位，其數量及日均乘客使用量載於附件。
（二）至（四）現時全港共有12個設於行車隧道及公路的巴士轉乘站，均為途經的跨區專營巴士路線提供上落客停車位，方便乘客由不同的起點乘坐專營巴士路線，於巴士轉乘站轉換其他專營巴士路線，前往不同的目的地。專營巴士營辦商一般會為乘客提供轉乘優惠，以善用現有巴士及道路資源，提高公共交通的營運效率，有助減少道路擠塞。
專營巴士是載客量高的路面集體運輸工具，其運力和路線覆蓋範圍高於其他公共交通服務。因此，運輸署規劃行車隧道及公路巴士轉乘站時，會優先給予專營巴士使用，以提升行車隧道及公路轉乘站的營運效益。與此同時，運輸署亦會綜合審視相關行車隧道及公路巴士轉乘站的整體交通需求、可使用空間、主幹道的交通流量和容量等，以避免出現交通擠塞或瓶頸的情況。若開放現有行車隧道及公路巴士轉乘站予其他車輛使用，運輸署需要就個別路段作出綜合性評估，避免影響現時專營巴士路線及巴士轉乘站的運作，並為未來新增的專營巴士路線預留空間及彈性。
至於位於鄰近黃竹坑道及香港仔隧道出入口的專營巴士及專線小巴的站點，以及另一個鄰近獅子山隧道出入口的專營巴士的站點，現時用作專營巴士及專線小巴的中途站。就黃竹坑道及香港仔隧道出入口的站點，運輸署會持續檢視提升有關設施的功能，包括引入巴士轉乘功能的可能性。至於屯門公路巴士轉乘站，我們也會持續優化，擴展其作為其中一個重要的專營巴士轉乘設施的效能。
（五）未來的交通基建規劃方面，我們在今年二月公布的《運輸策略藍圖》中，建議建設新一代運輸交匯樞紐，以乘客能高效轉乘不同公共交通服務及便利本地和跨境往來為目標，整合各類服務（例如鐵路、專營巴士、公共小巴、的士及跨境巴士）及泊車轉乘設施。運輸交匯樞紐亦會透過連接單車網絡及全天候行人通道，完善首／尾程接駁，並提供無障礙設施及舒適的候車區域，提升轉乘效率與舒適度，打造以乘客為本的出行環境，繼續致力建設多元化和高效的香港公共交通服務。
LCQ17: Use of bus-bus interchanges at tunnels and on highways
****************************************
Following is a question by the Hon Christine Fong and a written reply by the Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Ms Mable Chan, in the Legislative Council today (June 24):
Question:
It is learnt that currently most bus-bus interchanges (BBIs) at tunnels and on highways in Hong Kong only allow franchised buses to pick up and drop off passengers, and Tuen Mun Road Bus-Bus Interchange and Aberdeen Tunnel Bus-Bus Interchange are among the few that allow public transport carriers other than franchised buses (e.g. green minibuses and non-franchised buses) to pick up and drop off passengers. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council:
(1) of the respective numbers of parking spaces for franchised and non-franchised buses, as well as average daily passenger volumes, at various BBIs at tunnels and on highways at present;
(2) of the specific assessment criteria and considerations used in approving the opening up of BBIs at tunnels and on highways for use by public transport carriers other than franchised buses;
(3) whether an assessment has been made of the feasibility of opening up more existing BBIs at tunnels or on highways (e.g. Tseung Kwan O Tunnel, Tate's Cairn Tunnel and Lion Rock Tunnel) for use by other public transport carriers; if so, of the details; if not, of the reasons for that;
(4) whether a review has been made of the operational models of Tuen Mun Road Bus-Bus Interchange and Aberdeen Tunnel Bus-Bus Interchange to spread their operational experience to other interchanges with suitable spatial conditions, so as to enhance the public's interchange options and travel efficiency; and
(5) whether there will be reservation of space or adjustment of design parameters during the design phase of future transport infrastructure planning to allow a wider variety of public transport carriers to use BBIs, thereby enhancing the overall connectivity of the transport network?
Reply:
President,
It is the Government's public transport-oriented policy that encourages the public to make the most of public transport for commuting. Our reply in response to the question raised by the Hon Christine Fong is as follows:
(1) At present, bus-bus interchanges (BBIs) at road tunnels and on highways are only equipped with franchised bus pick-up/drop-off bays. Numbers of the aforementioned pick-up/drop-off bays and average daily volumes of the pick-up/drop-off passengers are set out in Annex.
(2) to (4) Currently, there are a total of 12 BBIs located at road tunnels and on highways across the territory. These BBIs provide pick-up/drop-off bays for cross-district franchised bus routes, facilitating passengers taking franchised buses from different starting points to travel between franchised bus routes for various destinations. Franchised bus operators generally offer interchange discounts to passengers, which optimises existing franchised bus and road resources, improves the efficiency of public transport operation, and helps alleviate road traffic congestion.
Franchised bus is a high-capacity road-based mass transport mode, with greater carrying capacity and route coverage as compared with other public transport services. Therefore, the Transport Department (TD) accords priority to franchised buses in the planning of BBIs at road tunnels and on highways, with a view to enhancing the operational efficiency of these interchanges. Meanwhile, the TD also comprehensively reviews the overall transport demand at relevant interchanges, available road space, traffic flow and capacity of the trunk roads concerned, so as to avoid causing traffic congestion or bottlenecks. In the case of opening up existing BBIs at road tunnels and on highways for use by other vehicles, the TD will need to conduct comprehensive assessments for individual road sections to avoid interrupting the current operation of franchised bus routes and BBIs, as well as to reserve space and allow flexibility for introducing new franchised bus routes in the future.
For the franchised bus and public light bus stops near Wong Chuk Hang Road and the Aberdeen Tunnel entrance, as well as another franchised bus stop near the Lion Rock Tunnel entrance, they currently serve as en-route stops for franchised buses and public light buses. For the stops near Wong Chuk Hang Road and the Aberdeen Tunnel entrance, the TD will continuously review the functionalities of relevant facilities for improvement, including the potential to introduce the function of bus interchange. As for Tuen Mun Road BBI, we will also continue to optimise it and increase its efficiency as one of the key BBIs.
(5) As regards future planning of transport infrastructure, in the Transport Strategy Blueprint announced in February of this year, we outline plans for the construction of a new generation of Transport Interchange Hubs. With the aim to facilitate efficient interchange between various public transport services, and enhance local and cross-boundary connectivity, the Transport Interchange Hubs will integrate various types of services (such as railways, franchised buses, public light buses, taxis, and cross-boundary coaches) along with park-and-ride facilities. The Transport Interchange Hubs will also improve first/last-mile connections by connecting to cycling networks and all-weather pedestrian corridors. Through providing barrier-free facilities and comfortable waiting areas, the Transport Interchange Hubs will enhance interchange efficiency and comfort, foster a passenger-centric travel environment, and contribute to the continuous effort to build a diversified and efficient public transport system in Hong Kong.
