Cross-boundary land transport services during Easter and Ching Ming Festival holidays
*********************************************************

     The Transport Department today (March 25) reminded that many passengers are expected to travel via the land boundary control points during the Easter and Ching Ming Festival holiday periods. Passengers are advised to plan their journeys in advance and make their journeys during non-peak hours.

     "The waiting time for the public transport services may be longer than usual if traffic at the control points is busy. Passengers should observe order and heed advice from the on-site Police and staff of the public transport companies concerned," a department spokesman said.

     The spokesman advised passengers to keep track of the latest traffic news broadcasts.
