The Star Ferry has applied to the government for a fare increase of up to about 30 percent on its two franchised routes, while also proposing a new pet-friendly service on its Wan Chai-Tsim Sha Tsui route.
According to documents submitted by the Transport and Logistics Bureau to the Legislative Council, the ferry operator is seeking to raise fares on the Tsim Sha Tsui-Central and Tsim Sha Tsui-Wan Chai routes by HK$0.80 to HK$2 per trip.
For the Wan Chai-Tsim Sha Tsui route, the adult weekday fare would rise from HK$5 to HK$6.50, while the weekend and public holiday fare would increase from HK$6.50 to HK$8.50, representing an increase of about 30 percent.
