Confusing for tourists

TRAMS have a habit of changing their destination panels as early as where the old Lee Theatre once stood.

Instead of showing 'Happy Valley', they show either 'Shau Kei Wan', 'Kennedy Town', or 'Whitty Street'. This confuses and deters tourists wishing to catch a tram to Happy Valley.

At the terminal, passengers boarding the trams hoping to go to Shau Kei Wan, Kennedy Town, or Whitty Street, are often told to alight, because the station-master has given instructions to change the destination at the last minute.

I recommend that: Trams show 'Happy Valley' until they reach the terminal.

New destinations should not be displayed unless the station-master is 100 per cent sure of the destination.

I have written to Hong Kong Tramways twice about this, but have seen no improvements.
