The following is issued on behalf of the Transport Advisory Committee:

     The Transport Complaints Unit (TCU) of the Transport Advisory Committee received 9 798 complaints and suggestions in the first quarter of 2023, with 352 being pure suggestions. 

     The complaints and suggestions received during the quarter were mostly related to public transport services (88 per cent), enforcement matters (8 per cent) and traffic conditions (2 per cent).
     ​
     The number of cases on public transport services increased from 8 441 in the previous quarter to 8 680 this quarter, while that on illegal parking and other enforcement matters decreased from 1 459 to 778. The number of complaints and suggestions on traffic conditions increased from 207 to 254, while that on road maintenance increased from 40 to 53. 

     All the complaints and suggestions received by the TCU in the quarter were referred to the relevant government departments and public transport operators for follow-up action.

     During the period under review, investigations into 8 114 cases were completed. Of these, 6 721 cases (82 per cent) were found to be substantiated, 19 cases (less than 1 per cent) were unsubstantiated, and the remaining 1 374 cases (17 per cent) could not be pursued due to lack of evidence. 

     For the substantiated cases, the relevant government departments and public transport operators have either taken steps to rectify the situation or are considering possible solutions to the problems identified. Among these cases, 56 drivers were summonsed by the Police.

     During the quarter, the relevant government departments and public transport operators took on board 12 suggestions made by the public to enhance public transport services and improve traffic conditions. A summary of the cases is in the Appendix.
