Passengers disembarking at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Cruise Terminal were able to board transport to the city centre this past weekend nearly twice as fast as before due to new measures, the operator of the port on Monday said.

Worldwide Cruise Terminals managing director Jeff Bent said the transport situation for guests arriving on Spectrum of the Seas on Saturday was much smoother compared with two weeks ago, when passengers were forced to wait for as long as 45 minutes for taxis or buses.
“We estimate the throughput rate increased by around 94 per cent,” Bent said.
Passengers were able to leave faster under the government’s new arrangements, which included increased bus routes between the terminal and various locations in Hong Kong, he added.
