Survival for the Fittest.
Tighter licensing of non-franchised buses by the Transport Department may gradually lead to the monopolization of the industry by the major firms, as small- and medium-sized enterprises are disadvantaged. This policy also encourages speculation in the price of licenses.
運輸署收緊非專營巴士發出牌照的政策。新政策要求申請人採購現有巴士，抑制新車增長，令車價飆漲。運輸署停止增發客運營業證，引致該行業出現炒賣牌照的情況。行內很多人加入投機活動，不用心服務。經營環境很惡劣，中小企意興闌珊。大公司財力雄厚，大量收購營業證，逐漸壟斷市場。運輸署發牌的要求含糊不清，阻礙中小企發展，導致市場傾斜。
