TD's ETCC to monitor traffic on first school day

The Transport Department's Emergency Transport Co-ordination Centre (ETCC) activated and monitored traffic conditions and transport services territory-wide from 6 am this morning (September 3).

After the announcement of no school due to the rainy weather today, ETCC called off the scheduled on site observations at various spots and turned back to its normal duty.

The Centre kept on a close liaison with Hong Kong Observatory, Education Department and all major public transport operators to keep a close eye on the situations.

A Transport Department spokesman said:" Generally the traffic is smooth today."

The ETCC will be activated again from 6 am tomorrow (September 4) to monitor traffic and transport services.
