Annual Report 2020

52 Transport International Holdings Limited 2020 Annual Report Sustainability Report Safety Belts KMB and LWB have requested bus manufacturers to install 3-point safety belts on all seats as a standard feature for new buses. Currently, more than 600 new buses are fully equipped with seat belts on both decks. As for buses currently in service and running on long-haul or expressway routes, 3-point safety belts will be installed on all upper-deck seats in phases. Electronic Stability Programme (“ESP”) The ESP is an important safety feature, which reduces the risk of bus skidding or overturning when cornering or operating on a slippery road surface. To safeguard road safety, all new Euro VI buses will be equipped with the ESP. The first batch of these buses was deployed in 2019. Parking Sensor KMB and LWB have installed parking sensors on more than 1,100 buses. The system will alert the driver if the bus is nearing obstacles when reversing. With a camera system, bus captains can monitor the real-time situation through the screen in the driving cab. Surveillance Cameras and Data Protection Surveillance cameras, including forward-looking cameras, to monitor road and saloon condition, have been standard features on all new buses since 2015. At the end of 2020, surveillance cameras were installed on all KMB and LWB buses. The cameras protect the interests of bus captains in the event of police investigations or legal proceedings. Attaching great importance to personal data protection, the Group has established working instruction guidelines to prevent inappropriate disclosure of personal data. Stickers are posted on all buses equipped with a CCTV system to inform bus passengers and bus captains of their presence and purpose. Authorised persons will access recordings from CCTV cameras only for security and incident investigation purposes. The recorded data is controlled by management and will only be accessed, copied or viewed following management approval in accordance with the governing procedures. 3-point safety belts on all seats have become a standard measure for new buses The ESP helps reduce the risk of bus skidding when cornering
