The DAB stated that under the outbreak of the epidemic, the revenue of the transportation industry has dropped sharply, and the number of bus passengers has shrunk by 40%. Therefore, the government should take the lead in exempting government tunnel tolls for all operating vehicles, including franchised buses, taxis, minibuses and trucks. At the same time, the tolls of private cars should also be halved. They also urged the government to discuss with the operators of the Tai Lam Tunnel and the Western Harbour Crossing tunnel tunnel fees reduction for half a year.

Chen Hengzheng pointed out that the authorities often require companies to reduce their rents and share the difficulties with tenants. I believe that the government should also take the lead in exempting tunnel fees for operating vehicles, especially franchised buses. It is hoped that the authorities can waive the toll collection fee and require bus companies not to reduce passenger traffic And further reducing the frequency of travel, affecting the normal travel of citizens.
