Intensify maintenance, inspection of gondolas

It is heartening to read about the proposals to intensify lift maintenance and inspection (“Tougher rules on lift upkeep from next month”; June 17)

Although this might not necessarily eradicate the problem of malfunctions, I am sure the situation will not get worse.

But the same cannot be said of malfunctions in gondolas, which share some functional similarities with lifts. The lack of enclosure in a gondola, however, puts its occupants in greater danger.

I hope the relevant authorities will also intensify the preventive maintenance and inspection of gondolas.
