New park-and-ride scheme to be implemented for First Phase Public Car Park at Po Shek Wu Estate in Sheung Shui from August 1
******************************************************************************************
     The Transport Department (TD) today (July 25) announced that, with effect from August 1 (Wednesday), the First Phase Public Car Park in Po Shek Wu Estate (PSWE) will replace the existing Sheung Shui Public Car Park (SSPCP) to provide park-and-ride (PnR) concession, while the SSPCP will cease operation and be permanently closed. The SSPCP site will be used for development works of PSWE.
 
     To encourage the public to use railway services to travel to urban areas, the coverage of the new PnR scheme will expand from four MTR stations (Kowloon Tong, Mong Kok East, Hung Hom and East Tsim Sha Tsui Stations) to most of the MTR stations (except Ma On Shan Line stations and Sheung Shui, Fanling, Tai Wo, Tai Po Market, University, Fo Tan, Sha Tin and Tai Wai Stations). Users of the PSWE First Phase Public Car Park will be eligible for the concessionary PnR charge if they use an adult Octopus card to enter the car park, and use the same Octopus card to travel to and from designated MTR stations before leaving the car park. Details of the scheme will be shown on notices displayed at the PSWE car park.
 
     The parking charges are as follows:
 
Charges Private car parking space
Monthly+ $1,840
Hourly+ $12
PnR $4 (per hour)
Remark:
+ Holders of the Disabled Person's Parking Permit issued by the TD will be offered a 50 per cent discount on monthly and hourly parking fees.
 
     The SSPCP will not be open for hourly parking starting from noon on July 31. Motorists must remove their vehicles from the SSPCP that day, and vehicles that are parked in the SSPCP after midnight on August 1 will be towed away and the owner or driver of the vehicle concerned will be liable to pay the associated parking fee and towing fee.
