I REFER to the letter from C. Heme (South China Morning Post, April 22) in which he suggested a more direct route from Admiralty to Cotton Tree Drive for service 12A by installation of a bus priority lane. This issue has been under discussion with Transport Department for some time, and it is apparently not as simple as painting some lines as some junction modification works are required at the bottom of Cotton Tree Drive. However, we understand that associated work will commence this month and be completed in approximately three months' time, by which time we will be able to consider any relevant measures to provide a better service to our passengers.
