Say NO to Windfall Profits!
Say YES to Equal Treatment!
New World First Ferry Services Limited and Hong Kong & Kowloon Ferry Holdings Limited routes connecting Hong Kong and the outlying islands will cut fares by 10 per cent in July due to the drop in oil prices.
Discovery Bay (DB) ferries are also subsidized by the Government. Transport Department (TD) should take immediate action to reduce DB ferry fares, so that our treatment is on par with other ferry services. TD must also enforce the licence conditions and release all operating data and financial performance for DB ferries.
Promote Transparency. Reduce Ferry Fares NOW!
致： 運輸署總運輸主任/渡輪檢討王伯健先生
高級運輸主任/渡輪策劃阮榮昌先生
停止暴利!
與其他渡輪航線看齊!
受惠於油價大跌，新渡輪和港九小輪連接香港及離島的航線，在今年7月起9折收費，以回饋乘客。政府亦有資助愉景灣渡輪，理應與其他渡輪航線看齊。我們強烈要求運輸署落實發牌條款並根據油價立即調低愉景灣渡輪的票價，公開愉景灣渡輪的營運數據及財務狀況。
提高透明度。立即減船費!

The Government grant the right to DB Ferry for the purpose of providing service to the resident but not creating a monopoly to milk the residents for huge profit. If the DB Ferry said they could not lower down their fares, the Government should allow competitors to end the unjust monopoly.
When oil hit $135 per barrel, as a thinking individual I accepted that fares needed to rise. Now that prices have slumped, and been below $60 per barrel for the past 18 months, I expect government to enforce transparency by reviewing DB ferry accounts and insisting upon realism in public transport pricing.
The price of the ferry is out of control. How is it fair to be the only unsubsidized ferry in hk? This ferry shouldn't be a money grab. It allows for hk resorts to charge high prices for their lands on dB. It should be a loss leader.
DB ferry prices are ridiculous, considering you have other ferries (park island, Mui wo) to name but a few who's prices are lower! Why do the people of DB pay a lot more than anyone else???
Its more than high time that this totally unreasonable ferry fare comes down to reasonable levels. We have been paying far too much for too long. I am a 24 years resident of DB!!
What a shame!
The fare is too high compare to other companies/ similar length of journey , this is not fair, and when others are reducing their fares, dbay ferry should follow to their loyal customers.

Please, consider in taking immediate action to reduce DB ferry fares, so that our treatment is on par with other ferry services, morevoer could you release operating data and financial performance of DB ferries, as specified in the existing licence conditions. Sincerely. Andre Aballea
