This morning, I have a chat with the resident who is living in Pak Kok Village, she told me that recently there are some guys don't buy any ticket while they are on boat. Some of those use the same tickets for two days or more because there hasn't any date printed on the ticket, and the crew forgot to collect it, they would use the same one daily.

On the other hand, the crews don't speak English, this is the main factor that they dare not to talk with the western passengers.

We have already showed our concern to the ferry company and they would ask the crews to pay more attention on that. Or worse comes to worse, we can call the police.

Anyhow, the ferry company is now preparing to install the Octopus machine in order to avoid this kind of matters again. The machine already in the office but they have to think where to put it.

It's not fare

Anyway, we're looking forward to the implementation of that high tech Octopus device on Pak Kok pier; and for non-octopus paying arrangements with the 'no change' situation.

Will we also get the MTR thing where you can double beep to have $2 off your connecting government subsidised line?

Nobody has not paid on this ferry line, and you've not lost much revenue through actual ticket sales recorded -- the odd fuck up here and there yes. .

However, given the average eye-sight of crew on this route is of around (I'd guess) 2m at best, is it any wonder that they dont see piers, or 'Pierres' amongst it all. However, if you (the ferry company) re-use ripped tickets by asking for them back, to use another day; what would you expect to happen?

Do we really have to have a company (TW) that cant provide enough ferry tickets per day without re-issuing ripped up ones? And then we get acussed of theft for their incompetance. Does it all sound like the news today. Maybe we really are just being told to do by complete idiots Donald Tsang?
