In the nine days to the end of the Legislative Council election, the government has made every effort to urge voters to vote. For the first time ever, free rides will be arranged across Hong Kong on polling day. Participants include the MTR, a number of franchised buses and trams.
Regarding the MTR, it is applicable to local services, including Light Rail and MTR buses, but not including the Airport Express.
The tram covers the whole line.
Franchised buses cover the franchised routes of KMB, NWFB, Citybus, Long Win Bus and New Lantao Bus, but do not include airport buses "A" and "NA" lines, "B" lines between ports, and sightseeing buses "H" Line, overnight bus "N" line, long-distance bus new service "P" line, and certain routes running south of Lantau.
Free rides on polling days can be described as an unprecedented measure, covering the main means of transportation, but it is understood that some routes are not applicable.
This is the first Legislative Council election after the electoral reform. Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, spoke earlier, calling on the public to vote, even referring to the firm confidence in "one country, two systems".
The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, Yau Tenghua, wrote to about 400 business organizations in Hong Kong, including regional business organizations, government-funded and statutory organizations, and SME organizations, calling on business leaders to "lead by example and vote enthusiastically."
