TAC briefed on Ma On Shan Rail fares

Members of the Transport Advisory Committee (TAC) were briefed by the management of the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) on Ma On Shan Rail (MOS Rail) fares at a meeting today (December 6).

"We notice that KCRC has taken into consideration the keen competition amongst different modes of transport, comparable bus and East Rail fares, passengers' acceptance levels, and Value of Time (VOT) benefits of railway journeys in setting the fares for the MOS Rail," Chairman of the TAC Ms Teresa Cheng said. 

"We believe that KCRC will take in account the views of the travelling public in making the final decision on MOS Rail fares in order to achieve a reasonable balance between the interests of the Corporation and the travelling public," she said.
