Addressing Bus TV Noise Pollution: Insights from KMB's PR Officer Ella Cheung

In today's Friday Forum, we welcome Ms. Ella Cheung, Public Relations Officer of KMB, and Ms. Theodora Li, ex-chairlady of the 'Hush the Bus Movement'. The discussion focuses on the impact of Bus TV, which serves a captive audience of 2 million passengers. While proponents argue it adds value, many passengers are disturbed by noise pollution and lack a choice in content. We explore the need for effective noise standards, potential solutions like on/off switches and wireless technology, and the roles of bus companies, passengers, and the government in addressing these challenges.
