No ferry service after 12

[edx]

Will DBTS, or whatever it is, provide sleeping arrangements on the pier? Because if so, I look forward to spending the night with 30 or 40 other couples and their squalling kids. We can read bedtime stories until the sun comes up.

I believe that they are going to lay on (slow) buses instead of the ferry. Somebody should be trawling their contracts/marketing materials to see if this breaches the terms under which they purchased/rented properties over there I guess.

buses from Central to DB ? thats going to take forever to get to DB, A friend of mine just moved there last week, now he will have to stay drinking with us until the ferry starts in the morning, if he takes the bus, he will be doing round trips on it asleep until he wakes up. Haahaa

Why didnt they just put 1 sailing every 2 hours after midnight. 2 am / 4 am then return to normal after 6 am.

When DB first opened, it did not have an overnight ferry service (last one was 10 / 10:30 I think). The lack of this service may make the place a less desirably place and there may be a knock-on effect on property prices. But HKR has its own agenda which seems to have little in common with the agendas of owners.

Reminds me of a friend telling me that he took the Airport Express from Hong Kong (after some drinks) and woke up 1hour later.. at HK Station ahhah

if he takes the bus, he will be doing round trips on it asleep until he wakes up. Haahaa

last year after a night out with a visiting friend from the UK, we got on the Park Island ferry from central at 5:30am...strolled into my apartment at 7:00am none the wiser until my girlfirend (who was getting ready for work) pointed out that I had sent her a msg saying 'on the ferry' at 5:30...

DB'rs are such girls !!! Spare a thought for those of us up in NT who still manage to party and use the night bus to get home.
DB bus is going to be 45 mins and drop you of a short walk from your from door. Luxury travel indeed.

For the likes of me its a near 2hr trip home on regular night bus ( Central - Hung Hom ( Chang Bus after a 10 minute hike from the tunnel to the train station terminus ) - Tai Po. Then Taxi to Ting Kok Tsuen.

Just remember you all live on an island. It isn't meant to be convenient.

Didn't DBTS give you an option: Accept an increase in fare and maintain the status quo, or reject it and suffer the consequences of a cut in service? At Park Island, we too had our overnight ferry replaced by a bus. It really isn't that bad. In fact it even has a stop on Connaught Road near World Wide house, which is a stone's throw away from LKF.


By the way, children on the overnight ferry??

Is it confirmed that there'll be no ferries after midnight?

Wah, wah, wah.....the other islands don't have overnight ferries and you don't see them sleeping in the ferry pier.
You make plans and you stick to them- and you have a bus, other islands don't have that option.

Put your penny loafers on, put your sweater over your shoulders, swap wives and get on with it!

Seriously- the overnight ferries to DB will not stop, it is a ploy by HK Land to get the government to give them more land in return for returning service back to normal.
