Kai Tak Sports Park concertgoers should use public transport and stay alert to unstable weather

******************************************************************************************

Attention duty announcers, radio and TV stations:

Please broadcast the following special announcement immediately, and repeat it at frequent intervals:

     The Transport Department today (April 12) said that, due to unstable weather conditions, concert spectators travelling to and from Kai Tak Stadium of the Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP) should take the MTR, and the special bus services which will be operated during dispersal. They should heighten vigilance and observe safety during outdoors. As the admission and dispersal times may vary subject to the actual situation, spectators (especially cross-boundary travellers) should plan their journeys early and purchase tickets in advance if needed. They should stay tuned to the real-time information via the on-site broadcast and the "Easy Leave" platform (easyleave.police.gov.hk).

     A spokesman for the TD said, "As it is the weekend and in view of the unstable weather, traffic in the vicinity of the KTSP is expected to be even busier. The TD has steered local and cross-boundary public transport operators to strengthen their services by arranging adequate trips and manpower to meet the passenger demand, so that spectators can arrive at the venue conveniently and leave in an orderly manner."

     MTR:

The interval between trains of the Tuen Ma Line will be further enhanced to about 2.5 minutes and the service level of the northbound East Rail Line (ERL) will also be enhanced accordingly;
Of note, for cross-boundary travellers, the last train to Lo Wu Station on the ERL via interchanging at Tai Wai Station will depart from Sung Wong Toi Station at 10.59pm and Kai Tak Station at 11.01pm;

Special bus routes:

Eleven special bus routes have been arranged at the Sung Wong Toi Road Pick-up/Drop-off Area departing for ports and major districts across the territory:

Hong Kong Island: Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Admiralty, Central, Tai Koo, Shau Kei Wan, Siu Sai Wan;

New Territories East: Tai Po, Fanling, Sheung Shui, Tseung Kwan O;
New Territories West: Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai, Kwai Chung, Tsuen Wan, Tsing Yi;

Cross-boundary travellers may take route No. SP12 to Lok Ma Chau (San Tin) Public Transport Interchange and transfer to the Lok Ma Chau-Huanggang cross-boundary shuttle bus (Yellow Bus) to Lok Ma Chau/Huanggang Port; or route No. A25S to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Hong Kong Port and transfer to the HZMB shuttle bus (Gold Bus) to Macao and Zhuhai; and

Taxis:

In view of an outflux of spectators, the waiting time is anticipated to be longer. Spectators should opt for other public transport modes.

Spectators are advised to take heed of the real-time information via the on-site broadcast and the "Easy Leave" platform (easyleave.police.gov.hk) as well as the latest traffic news through the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk), the "HKeMobility" mobile application and radio and television broadcasts.
