逃票 2式 慳幾蚊罰幾千 果, 身

阿力當然唔贊成市民搭車呃車飛錢，但事情嘅背後我地應該要問嘅喺，咁辛苦去呃果一個幾毫，點解要咁做呢？

當然，最大嘅 culprit 就係港鐵呢啲無良企業年年賺大錢、年年繼續狂加價。而身為港鐵最大股東嘅特衰政府卻一直置身事外，扮晒唔關佢事。

Just like going to China ....   take off in Sheung Shui, and back again, (gate in, gate out, back to same train) will save some money too .. (somehow)

I saw lots of people doing that ..  take off, gate out, gate in ....

I have thought of those tricks already since I was in elementary school. Buy a one-way ticket for cheap, and using $50 ticket twice to get out.... it's nothing new... and no one bothers to care.

Just like in high school , where we sneaked 8 people in a theater with 3 tickets bought. :-(

You may know what is going on in China, but you need to learn the politics in Canada before commenting, my friend.  The 21% parking tax is in the legal right of Translink, no one can touch it.

HST is payable on top of the parking tax and it ends up to be 35.52% of taxes for parking in metro Vancouver.  This is the price for clean air.

You are actually proving my point. Whatever laws that allow Translink to take whatever money, whether property tax or parking tax, those laws are stupid and were created by the stupid government.

They are just a bunch of inept and highly paid Translink officials. The society is stupid enough to allow Translink to skim money from the society.

First of all, I never said Translink is any good.  Translink is a cancer in Vancouver and it sucks our tax dollar into an inefficient system.  

But you need to bear in mind Translink is net neutral. They take tax dollars from parking, property tax to subsidize mass transit, whereas MTR is the other way round.  HK Government, as the biggest shareholder, take money out of mass transit and pays for the $6000 per head candy.

Also HK Government being a shareholder approves MTR rate adjustment is a conflict of interest.  They should either fix the rate adjustment to an index or get rid of all the shares.

The parking fee and property taxes that Translink takes could have been used by the city hall on improving local schools. So Translink is not neutral at all.

The money for the $6000 came from many sources, not just the MTR. Most of HK government's money comes from selling expensive lands at auctions and from the stock market trading tax.

Of course you can walk and 行路上廣州 as well.  Be realistic.  

Say, if you have a job in Central, you pretty much have to use MTR.

師兄，

我都有個 friend 嘅老竇老母住響天水圍，佢地都係退休中產人士，生活無憂。但天水圍主要係個窮人地區定係有錢人區，我諗大家都心裡有數啦：

成卅萬人咁大嘅一個社區，但連醫院都無，咁嘅社區規劃都唔算徹底失敗嘅話，我都真係無野講囉...

師兄, few friends of mine lived in 天水圍 ...  they drive wor ..  and most of their neighbor drive too ..

Should say that, some people live that far, because they want to own a car and enjoy ..  low cost for parking .. more space ..  

Even those Government homes in HK ..  lots of cars too .. can't say all people live in 天水圍 are low income, and can't afford car.
