Holiday advice for Lok Ma Chau cross-boundary shuttle-bus users

The Transport Department advises passengers who intend to use the Lok Ma Chau - Huanggang cross-boundary shuttle-bus service (Yellow Buses) during the weekend to plan their journeys carefully, and if possible to travel by rail via Lo Wu Control Point instead.

The department has asked the Yellow Buses operator and the operators of the feeder services at the San Tin Public Transport Interchange to strengthen their services if there is any increase in passenger flow.

Passengers are advised to travel during the less busy periods in the late morning or early afternoon. Since waiting times for the shuttle-bus service may be longer than usual, passengers are asked to behave in an orderly fashion and heed the advice of the on-site staff when queuing.

Passengers should call the New Hong Kong Bus Company enquiry hotline: 2471 0792 for the latest shuttle-bus service situation and listen to radio and TV for up-to-date traffic conditions.
