Hong Kong lawmakers urge review of seat belt policy on buses amid complaints

Hong Kong lawmakers are calling for a review of the new seat belt policy on buses six months after its implementation. The policy, which requires seat belt use on public and private buses, has faced complaints from passengers who find the cross-body belts inconvenient, especially on short trips or when carrying groceries. Lawmakers suggest considering lap belts for certain buses and routes to improve ease of use. The review aims to evaluate enforcement, compliance, and any implementation issues that arise during the initial phase. Authorities are urged to exercise discretion regarding seat belt use in specific circumstances during this period.
