thread_title: Escalators and moving sidewalks

message: I remember from I lived in Hong Kong that a distinction is made between franchised and licensed bus services, and it sounds like the same applies to ferry services. The article makes passing reference to this distinction under both buses and ferries, but nowhere explains it. I suspect it is a usage specific to Hong Kong, ao it probably merits a section in this article. Can anybody explain it?. -- Chris j wood 19:04, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There's certain regulations that required operators to apply for licences (I cannot recall in details.. not sure if it's something to do with capacity), in other words, not everyone can enter the public transport market as a service provider. For some routes, the government grant franchises to certain providers, which will be operating the routes with exclusive rights. Franchsed services are therefore less competitive, and are more regulated by the government, such as pricings and schedules. The franchises are usually granted in packages, with some routes that is going to generate lots of profits, and some less profitable, or even deficit. — Instantnood 20:58, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I saw something on Asia Television (via a clip on YouTube) about a serious accident in 1984 that involved a KCRC train. The train was backing up when it derailed. I see no references to that here. Can someone investigate this? Arbiteroftruth (talk) 06:15, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless the accident involved a ton of deaths or some kind of governmental or politic change, it really isn't wiki-worthy. Benjwong (talk) 07:02, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
