Lok Ma Chau shuttle bus service during Mid-Autumn Festival

The Transport Department today (September 9) reminded passengers to plan their journeys during the Mid-Autumn Festival from September 11 to 14.

It said they should take their journeys during the quieter periods in the late morning or early afternoon and travel by rail as far as possible, as a lot of passengers will be expected to use the Lok Ma Chau - Huanggang cross-boundary shuttle-bus service at Lok Ma Chau Public Transport Interchange.

Passengers are also advised that as the waiting time for the shuttle-bus service could be much longer if traffic at the Lok Ma Chau crossing is busy, they should be patient when queuing at the Lok Ma Chau terminus. They should also observe the instructions given by the staff when queuing.

Intending passengers are strongly advised to call the New Hong Kong Bus Company enquiry hotline 2471 0792 for the queuing situation before departing for the Lok Ma Chau terminus, and to pay attention to radio/TV broadcast on traffic conditions.
