LWB to offer 20% fare discount on “A” Routes for those Taking Forward Leg on “E” Routes
To provide passengers with a more comfortable and direct return journey, Long Win Bus Company Limited will introduce a same-day return fare concession scheme on “A” Routes for those taking the first leg on “E” Routes as fore-trip from 1 October to 31 December 2017. Octopus-paying passengers can enjoy a 20% fare discount on the same-day return trip on 13 “A” Routes if the forward leg is made on any of the 11 “E” Routes, so long as the full fare for both journeys is paid with the same Octopus card.
“A” Routes offer a more direct service, saving around 15-20 minutes when compared with the corresponding “E” Routes. The “A” Routes also provide a free Wi-Fi service and USB charging (*). With the discount, passengers can save about $100 per month. The return-trip discount is not applicable to passengers who pay a section fare on either the “E” Route or the “A” Route. Please refer to Appendix A for the Terms and Conditions of the scheme. (*subject to actual bus deployment.)
The “E” Routes involved in the scheme comprise E31, E32, E32A, E33, E33P, E34A, E34B, E34P, E34X, E41 and E42, while the “A” Routes eligible for the discount comprise A31, A31P, A32, A33, A33P, A33X, A36, A37, A41, A41P, A43, A43P and A47X.
