Public transport service arrangements for departures of Hong Kong Sevens (2)
****************************************************************************
Please broadcast the following special announcement immediately, and repeat it at frequent intervals:
Spectators of the Hong Kong Sevens held at the Kai Tak Sports Park are gradually dispersing. The Transport Department (TD) today (March 30) said that the overall traffic conditions have mostly been smooth so far:
MTR: Spectators are urged to take the MTR to leave the venue as far as possible. The service of the Tuen Ma Line has been further enhanced and spare trains will be deployed as needed. Services of the East Rail Line and the Kwun Tong Line will also be enhanced accordingly;
Taxis: The Taxi Pick-up/Drop-off Area has maintained normal services. The waiting time will be longer amid the dispersal peak and your patience is appreciated. The TD has made all-out efforts with the taxi trade to mobilise more taxis for picking up passengers, including disseminating real-time information on passengers queuing to the trade directly. The Kai Tak Sports Park Limited has also mobilised taxis via instant messaging platform; and
Special bus routes: A total of 10 special bus routes departing for Central via Causeway Bay and Wan Chai, Siu Sai Wan, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Tseung Kwan O (Hang Hau), Tseung Kwan O (LOHAS Park), Tsing Yi, Sheung Shui, Tuen Mun and Tin Shui Wai are ready and will operate subject to the passenger demand.
Spectators are advised to take heed of the real-time information via on-site broadcast and the "Easy Leave" (QR code displayed on-site) as well as the latest traffic news through the "HKeMobility" mobile application, radio and television broadcasts.
