I am a big fan of your site. I’d like to bring up a point about the bus system in Hong Kong. Everyday, most of the buses are empty and yet they continue to pollute our air. I hope you can bring this up in a video so that the hong kong people can see that actually these bus companies like KMB, Citybus are probably making money just being a billboard. We should get a boycott going.
While all important for a global standard in pollution measurement, I think we are trying to teach a drowning man not to drink too much.
The levels are above the chart on any measure, even the API. Bus boycotts do not help in my point of view. That will cause only more empty buses.
We should rather pressure the government to force btter pollution standards in cars, to make driving private cars less convenient, and combat traffic jams around happy valley, the central tunnel etc.
