Hong Kong steps up border, transport measures as Taiwanese band Mayday plays last show after rain, equipment fire forced postponement
- Rock group set to hit stage at Central harbourfront at 7.15pm to play final in seven-show tour of city after one concert postponed last week
- Citybus and KMB putting on special routes, with authorities ready to implement traffic measures to streamline flow and prioritise public transport at some crossings
The rock group will perform the rescheduled concert at the Central harbourfront at 7.15pm, with the Transport Department announcing the bolstered services would be in place to cope with an expected uptick in travellers.
“To facilitate the dispersal of members of the public and tourists travelling to the mainland after the event, the last train of the MTR East Rail line heading for Lo Wu will depart from Admiralty Station at 11.32pm,” the department said on Wednesday.
Citybus and KMB will put on six special bus routes, which can be boarded near the venue, mostly serving border crossings and the New Territories.
Short-haul cross-boundary coaches operating between Wan Chai and the Lok Ma Chau or Huanggang crossings will also stop on Connaught Road in Central.
Authorities will implement traffic measures when necessary at the Lok Ma Chau, Huanggang and Shenzhen Bay crossings to separate different types of vehicles and provide a dedicated passage for public transport at around midnight.
