Dear Transport Department,

The data provided in the response is not what I'm requesting. Table 8.1(e) of Monthly Traffic and Transport Digest 2020 only contains data about *vehicle count* by vehicle type while I'm requesting the *ridership* (i.e. passenger count) of HZMB Shuttle Bus data.

I'm requesting again for HZMB Shuttle Bus passenger count data by month since 2018. It would be better if the data could be provided in the format similar to Table 8.3 (Passenger of Lok Ma Chau - Huanggang Cross Boundary Shuttle Bus Service) of Monthly Traffic and Transport Digest 2020.

Yours faithfully,

George K
