The epidemic of a new type of coronavirus pneumonia, commonly known as "Wuhan Pneumonia," has continued to spread. KMB has earlier reduced bus trips in response to epidemic prevention conditions and changes in passenger capacity. With the government's successive completion of more than a month of civil servants' work at home arrangements, but the school is still closed, KMB said that this week's passenger load is still 30% lower than the same period last year, and promised to make arrangements for busy hours in the morning and evening, but has not yet returned to normal shifts schedule.

KMB ’s Director of Communications and Public Affairs, Lin Zihao, said that although the government has gradually reduced civil servants ’work arrangements at home, some civil servants have not resumed work, and some companies have continued to work from home to ensure the safety of their employees. In addition, schools have not resumed classes so far. The weekly passenger load is still 30% lower than the same period of last year. It is described as a "very scary number". We need to find a way to solve the loss. We also hope to arrange for shifts during busy hours in the morning and evening. As for off-peak hours, he pointed out that the plunge in passenger volume was a considerable blow to the industry. Therefore, it is necessary to make adjustments to the frequency of shifts. There has been no return to the normal schedule.

According to Lin Zihao, affected by the epidemic, the travel mode of citizens has changed. Even if a large number of citizens are waiting in line, they only concentrate on riding at a certain time, and the overall passenger capacity may not increase. Although the business was hit hard, he emphasized that the company still had no plans to lay off employees, cut pay or ask employees to take unpaid leave.

In view of the greater number of suburban tourists than Mong Kok on weekends in recent months, KMB has added three bus routes at the end of last month to facilitate the public to travel to Saigon. Lin Zihao said that the frequency of the outing route has been strengthened, so the overall frequency has been increased or decreased, hoping to meet the new travel mode of the public under the epidemic situation.
