I am just saying that Alan's idea is not responding to qualcomm's suggestion. I doesn't mean to support qualcomm's idea. In my opinion,796C and 296C should be doing something different.
For example, make 796C and 296C like this
796C: So Uk<>Sham Shui Po<>Shek Kip Mei<>Kowloon City<>Kwun Tong Rd<>TKO<>Oscar by the Sea
296C: Tonkin St<>Lai Chi Kok Rd/Cheung Sha Wan Rd<>Mong Kok<>Kowloon City<> Sham Po Kong<>Kwun Tong Bypass <>Sheung Tak<>TKO<>Tiu Keng Leng
796S: Cancelled
Then,796C and 296c is doing something different
Also, 796S can be cancelled

796C, actually no one take this from/to Cheung Sha Wan/Shum Shui Po, better cut it to Prince Edward instead.
For others, 98C/296C support all the way.
I don't agree, there is a number of passengers taking it to Shum Shui Po
There was once I took 796C (eastbound) in a Saturday afternoon
more than half of the passengers came from stops before Prince Edward

For example, ...
I don't think 796C is an appropriate substitute for the former route 40
It's better to fill the KT-SSP gap with route 6D or some other Kowloon routes
Regarding the differentiation of roles of 796C and 296C,
I originally think 796C should replace 296C completely
but considering the future development of South TKO,
I think the district might be able to support 2 Mong Kok/SSP routes in the future
796C:
Oscar by the Sea/TKO station--new residential area near TKO station--Tiu King Ling station--original route to So Uk
296C:
route unchanged
With the new residential area, more passengers will take 796C and the route doesn't have to depend on Sheung Tak anymore
296C could takeover the whole market of Sheung Tak--west Kowloon
