KMB stated that the bus fare is generally based on the distance between the bus stop and the terminal station. The closer you get on the bus, the fare will be reduced according to different charging zones. However, even if passengers get off the bus halfway, the fare will still be at the bus stop and the end of the route The distance of the station shall prevail. KMB continued that it has successfully overcome the constraints of the objective environment this time by installing card cameras at bus stops with electricity supply, successfully implementing regional two-way block fares, and alleviating passengers' transportation burden.
Take Route 268C as an example. The fare for the whole journey from Long Ping Station to Kwun Tong Ferry Pier is 18.4 yuan. If passengers get off at a midway station in Yuen Long District, they will get a refund of 14.1 yuan after taking the card, which means that the actual fare is only 4.3 yuan. .
KMB said that the card machines are located at multiple bus stops in the district, including Waldorf Gardens, Tung Lok Street, Yuen Long (West) Terminus, YOHO Dian 1, YOYO Dian 2, Yuen Long Station, and Yiu Man in Tin Yiu Village There are 28 machines in Lou Lou and Tin You Court, among which 13 are in Yuen Long, 5 are in Tuen Mun, and 10 are in Tin Shui Wai.
