- Transport Department has received notification from MTR Corporation Limited that To facilitate passenger travel, MTRCL will enhance train service during National Day Golden Week.
2 – 7 October
• More frequent train trips on the East Rail Line at different periods
Please refer to MTRCL's webpage for details.
- The Transport Department (TD) anticipates that the passenger and vehicle traffic at land-based boundary control points (BCPs) will significantly increase during the Mainland’s National Day Golden Week (October 1 to 7), especially amid the expected inbound peak on Sunday (October 4) afternoon and evening when waiting times for PT services will be longer. The TD urges cross-boundary travellers to plan their trips early and properly, allow sufficient travelling time and avoid travelling during peak hours as far as possible. They should heed the latest information broadcast at major stations and BCPs.
The TD has been steering local and cross-boundary public transport (PT) services operators to strengthen their services and reserve sufficient vehicles and manpower during the Mainland’s National Day Golden Week for the convenience of residents and visitors. It is anticipated that the waiting time for PT services, including the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) shuttle bus (Gold Bus) and local franchised bus “B” routes connecting various land-based BCPs, may be longer during peak periods of cross-boundary travel. Travellers should avoid travelling during peak hours as far as possible, maintain order while queuing and heed advice from on-site Police and staff of the PT operators. Passengers planning to take cross-boundary coaches are also advised to reserve their coach tickets in advance.
Motorists of cross-boundary private cars crossing the border are advised that, subject to actual traffic conditions, special traffic arrangements may be implemented at Lok Ma Chau Control Point and Shenzhen Bay Port during the Mainland’s National Day Golden Week to secure smooth access for PT vehicles to the above BCPs. Cross-boundary private cars may experience longer waiting times for crossing the BCPs during the peak periods. Motorists should pay extra attention to variable message signs and traffic signs along the approach roads to the BCPs. In case of traffic congestion, they should remain patient and follow the instructions of on-site Police.
To plan their journeys ahead, members of the public can make use of the TD’s HKeMobility mobile app or website (hkemobility.gov.hk/en/traffic-information/live/cctv) to access snapshots of traffic conditions at inbound and outbound vehicle plazas of the HZMB Hong Kong Port. They can also check the real-time situations of the vehicle clearance plaza of the Zhuhai Port through the WeChat official accounts “hzmbzhport” or “zhuhaifabu” (traffic-info.gzazhka.com:5015/#/) (Chinese only). Moreover, motorists are reminded to always comply with the traffic control measures implemented by the Zhuhai authority when driving on the HZMB Main Bridge. Vehicles must not occupy the emergency lane unless instructed by the Zhuhai authority.
The public and visitors may visit the one-stop information platform on immigration clearance “Easy Boundary” (www.sb.gov.hk/eng/bwt/status.html?type=outbound) of the Security Bureau, this mobile app or the website of HKeMobility to obtain useful information, including the respective average waiting time for passengers and private cars at land-based BCPs, as well as for the Gold Bus, the Lok Ma Chau-Huanggang cross-boundary shuttle bus (Yellow Bus) and MTR more conveniently. Members of the public are advised to check the latest traffic news through radio, the television broadcasts, the TD’s website (www.td.gov.hk) and the HKeMobility. PT services operators and relevant departments of BCPs will also disseminate the latest information to passengers through public announcement systems or other channels at major stations and BCPs.
