Dear all Lamma residents,

What are your comments if the Transporation Department allows the ferry company :-

1. significantly cut eight (8) sailing ferry services for each day;
2. just use the old, dirty, slow and uncomfortable vessels to and from Central to Lamma Island for 10 years in future;
3. unreasonable rejected our application for late night sailing just for increasing 2% of the current fare.

Did anybody known and ask your comment before?

The new tender meeting has been scheduled for the 1st week in March 2008. I dont think all our lovely residents dont accept or dont want to suffer such a serious downgrade services.

So that is the time dont keep silient!

I sincerely hope all of you will express your opinion to strongly object such a serious downgrade ferry services.

happyvallyking,
Just for the record,
1) Who are you?
2) What interests do you represent?

Dear Tavis,

Thank for your your prompt reply.

For your record,i am one of the upsaid residents in Lamma Island and represent myself as one of the ferry users .

The meaning of happyvalleykiing's post here is slightly different to the post started on the Chinese forum.

In there, it was mentioned that:
(1) 8 sailings will be cancelled each day
(2) the application for overnight sailings, which has been hotly antipated by "us", will be cancelled (NOTE: I think happyvalleyking meant overnight sailings service instead of the application)
(3) the cancellation of fast ferry services, and only putting on slow ferries

I have replied in the Chinese forum, stating the inconsistency between points 1 and 3 - i.e. there are currently more than 8 fast ferrry sailings each day, meaning that there must be some inaccuracies and misrepresentation.
