To reduce the risk of the spread of COVID-19 in the community, the Transport Department (TD) said today (April 17) that special arrangements will continue to be implemented at the seven government car parks under the management of the TD for the sale of monthly tickets for May. 
 
     "The existing holders of a monthly ticket for private car/van, motorcycle or taxi for April can purchase a monthly ticket for the same vehicle type for May with priority. These eligible monthly ticket holders have to complete the procedures for purchasing the monthly ticket for May by 9pm on April 22 at the shroff office of the car park concerned. Any such person who fails to purchase the monthly ticket before the above deadline will be regarded as having given up his or her right to purchase the monthly ticket for May. The unsold monthly tickets for private car/van for May will be sold at the shroff offices of the car parks concerned on a first-come, first-served basis from 7.30am on April 23, while the unsold monthly tickets for motorcycle and taxi for May will be sold at the shroff offices from 7.30am on April 24," a spokesman for the TD said.
 
     The seven government car parks are Star Ferry Car Park, City Hall Car Park, Tin Hau Car Park, Shau Kei Wan Car Park, Aberdeen Car Park, Kwai Fong Car Park and Tsuen Wan Car Park.
 
     The car park operators will put up notices in the car parks in advance to inform motorists of the above special arrangements.
 
     Subject to the latest situation of COVID-19, the TD will review the sale arrangements for monthly parking tickets for June, which may include resumption of the sale of monthly tickets on a first-come first-served basis or implementation of other appropriate measures, having regard to the physical conditions and parking situations of the car parks concerned. A further announcement in this regard will be made by mid-May.
