    MTR's escalator safety campaign / Launch of electric ferries / Interview with EOC Chairperson

    On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re talking about a new MTR safety campaign to discourage commuters from walking on escalators.

    Citing over 400 escalator related accidents in the first nine months of this year, the MTR Corporation is deploying staff on both sides of some escalators to stop passengers walking up or down.
    The corporation has promised not to invoke its by-laws, which allow fines of up to $5,000 for “improper use” of escalators. But some netizens are still angry, saying the campaign is unnecessary and the MTR should focus on improving its lifts instead.
    So what do you make of this move? Is it sensible? Or exaggerated?
    After 9:30, we talk about a pilot scheme promoting the trial of electric ferries in Hong Kong.
    And after 9:45, we discuss with the Equal Opportunities Commission about some NGOs calls to give the body more power.

    Octopus JoyYou card discounts / Australia's "right to disconnect" law

    主持人:Jim Gould and Car Ha

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about a special promotion involving the personalised JoyYou Octopus card, aimed at encouraging activity for the elderly and boosting local spending.

    For a two-week period starting from Wednesday, card holders will receive an $8 reward for every $100 spent with participating businesses -- with a maximum rebate amount capped at $800 per user.
    Starting from last Sunday, residents aged 60 or over now need to use a JoyYou card in in order to benefit from $2 public transport concessionary fares. The change was introduced to tackle fraudulent
    use of anonymous cards by non-eligible travellers.
    So will this promotion encourage older people to go out and about more frequently? And will it help to boost consumption?
    After 9:45, we'll learn more about Australia's new "right to disconnect law", for employees when they're off duty. It's similar to laws in some parts of Europe and Latin America. But could such a concept ever take hold here?
