The chief operating officer of Citybus says it's the 'right time' and 'necessary' for a merger between his company and New World First Bus, which was given the go-ahead on Tuesday by Exco.
Speaking on RTHK's 'Hong Kong Today' programme, Richard Hall said, while the pandemic and new train services had affected bus patronage, the company would now focus on developing new routes into the northern New Territories.
"The railways started to develop late nineties-early 2000s. Additional services opening this year; the East Rail Line, you know they have impacted our business heavily. And actually, historically, we've probably not evolved at the level we should have done. And we're now doing that and we're meeting those challenges from those new rail services," he said.
