Chapter 438 "447" Major Event: MTR Price Rises! Thousands of Citizens: Member of Parliament, please help us uphold justice!

A piece of news about MTR Company directly caused an uproar across Hong Kong.

The storm of the bandit and Director Zheng was suddenly suppressed.

The entire Hong Kong Island was instantly ignited by anger.

Some of them are office workers who work from Hong Kong Island or Kowloon in the New Territories.

Central...

A young man gnawed bread while complaining: "I go to work from Diamond Mountain to Central every day. The round-trip fare is not cheap. Isn't this forcing me to quit?"

The lady next to her shook her head helplessly: "In order to save money, I can only live in a remote place. Forget it, it's enough to have a long commute. Now even this only way of travel has to increase the price. I really don't know what to do."

"I have to change to work twice a day. The fare is almost impossible to afford, and the MTR has to raise the price. Why don't we walk to work!"

The passengers around nodded, complaining in words and words.

In Hong Kong Island, Yau Tsim Mong has a large number of job opportunities, but the housing prices are expensive, so many citizens go to remote places in order to buy a house, such as Diamond Mountain, Sha Tin, and even the New Territories.

It is equivalent to working in the south and living in the north.

Commuting has become a huge trouble, and the subway is a very good means of commuting.

The more people in Hong Kong discussed, the more angry they became and cursed.

"It's not easy for young people nowadays. They run around to work every day and raise prices in MTR. How can they afford it?"

"MTR doesn't understand everyone's understanding of this, just knowing how to make money, and don't consider the feelings of neighbors."

"Is it going to kill us all?"

"I went to work and spent all the money I earned. I settled at the end of the year and didn't save any money!"

"It seems like I can save money too!"

"The price of subways is already high, and now the price is raised... How did this plan pass the government approval?"

"Don't you know? MTR is the government's own company! All the money you earn is in the government's pocket!"

The predecessor of MTR Company, Hong Kong Island Metro Company, was established in 1975 under the Underground Railway Companies Ordinance (Chapter 270 of the Hong Kong Island Law). It is a wholly owned statutory body owned by the Hong Kong Island Government. It aims to plan, build and operate the subway network of Hong Kong Island. It is a wholly owned company and the only shareholder of the Hong Kong British Government.

And what about raising the price?

As a public facility company involved, if you want to raise prices, you naturally have to follow the process.

Process 1, internal review and formulation: internal research and demonstration, considering costs, operation conditions, market demand and other factors, and formulate specific and feasible price increase plans.

Process 2, review by relevant government departments: Transportation Department, Finance Committee, Consumer Committee, Transportation Affairs Committee... etc., will comprehensively consider the public interest, transportation policies, social impact and other factors to judge the rationality and feasibility of the price increase plan.

From this process,

The government obviously knew about this plan and agreed.

"Skin shovel!"

"This Hong Kong and British government is completely disappointing!"

"Don't consider it for our citizens!"

"That's right, this kind of plan has been released? What kind of public consultation is being conducted?"

"Stick you!"

As the news spread throughout Hong Kong, from the New Territories to the north, from the south to Hong Kong Island, from Sai Kung to the east, and from Tsuen Wan to Tuen Mun…

Countless citizens scolded each other.

Do you think MTR Corporation is just this way?

night,

TVB News reported on MTR's questionnaire survey of citizens:

Reporter: "What do you think about the price increase of MTR?"

Citizen 1: "I absolutely support it."

Citizen 2: "The operating cost of MTR is high, how can I increase the service without raising the price? Spend more money in exchange for comfortable travel, it's worth it!"

Citizen 3: "It is understandable to raise prices, after all, the price is indeed a bit low now."

Citizen 4: "It costs money to upgrade MTR facilities, and it is normal to raise prices, and it is more convenient to take a bus in the future. It is quite good."

Citizen 5: "MTR needs money to develop, and it is acceptable to raise prices appropriately. As long as the service gets better and better."

Citizen 6: "Support price increase, MTR can only develop with funds, which is beneficial to our travel in the long run."

Citizen 7: "This is the reason, everyone should take a long-term vision."

TVB reporter stood on the bustling street with people coming and going behind him. He said clearly in front of the camera: "

Dear viewers, we conducted a lot of visits and surveys in the social discussion caused by the MTR price increase plan. Surprisingly, the citizens interviewed this time expressed their support for the MTR price increase without exception."

"This not only reflects the citizens' understanding and trust in the development of MTR, but also draws a promising blueprint for the future of public transportation in Hong Kong. We will continue to pay attention to the progress of the incident in the future and bring you the latest developments."

At this time, all the citizens of Hong Kong were so stupid.

What's the thing?

All support?

But I obviously objected!

I'm not a human!

Park Ni is still there, it means me again!

...

...

night,

The white-collar workers who came to work in Hong Kong Island from Tin Shui Wai finished their day's work and walked towards the subway station in groups.

At this time, the subway was filled with dissatisfaction with the MTR company.

"We work hard every day and earn hard money. The price increase of MTR is equivalent to reducing our salary again."

"It's cheaper to live in a house, but the commuting cost is getting higher and higher, and life is getting harder and harder."

"Mad, the subway company is simply inhumane!"

"TVB is just stupid, it actually reported: Everyone supports price increases and supports treadmill comparison!"

"We're going to call to complain!"

"Complaint? I have already complained to MTR, but the phone can't be reached."

"I complained to the government hotline, and people said: I have listened to the opinions and recorded them."

"Hey, I responded to me in this way."

"I tell you, complaints are useless. If the complaints are useful, then TVB would not report this way."

"Yes, the government's internal review has been passed, and it is obvious that the government has agreed."

"Collaboration between officials and businessmen!"

"Where is it a businessman? It is owned by the government!"

"That's the protection of officials!"

"So, complaints are useless!"

The whole carriage was cursing and scented.

Suddenly, I don't know who said it.

"The complaint is not OK, so can we go to Mr. Guan, the councillor?"

As soon as this is said,

The carriage suddenly calmed down.

Then fry the pot directly.

"yes!"

"Look for Mr. Guan!"

"Mr. Guan has always cared about ordinary citizens, which is completely different from other officials who are in vain."

"Yes, let's go find Mr. Guan."

At this time, the deep reputation that Guan Zu had accumulated in his daily life burst out with amazing power.

For a long time, everything he did was seen and remembered by the citizens, and everyone spontaneously trusted and supported him.

At this critical moment, they all subconsciously thought about relying on him, hoping that he would be fair for ordinary citizens like him.

"But, how can we find Mr. Guan?"
