Bus services to be enhanced

During the affected periods, operators will enhance bus services in Mui Wo, Discovery Bay and Ma Wan to ease passenger flow:

The service of New Lantao Bus route No. 3M (Mui Wo Ferry Pier - Tung Chung Station) will be strengthened;
Discovery Bay Residents' Service route No. DB03R (Discovery Bay - Sunny Bay Station) will be enhanced;
Additional free bus service from Discovery Bay (outside Discovery Bay Fire Station) to Central Pier No. 3 will be provided;
Discovery Bay Residents' Service route No. DB03RP (Discovery Bay North - Sunny Bay Station) will be enhanced on July 2 only; and
Ma Wan Residents' Service route No. NR338S (Ma Wan (Tung Wan Bus Terminus) - Central Pier No. 2 (Circular)) will operate an additional special departure on July 6 only.

In-harbour ferries' temporary service adjustments

Of note, during the affected periods, there may be temporary service adjustments up to around 30 minutes in nine in-harbour ferry routes, namely Wan Chai - Tsim Sha Tsui, Central - Tsim Sha Tsui, North Point - Hung Hom, North Point - Kowloon City, Central - Hung Hom, North Point - Kwun Tong, Water Taxi, Sai Wan Ho - Kwun Tong and Sai Wan Ho - Sam Ka Tsuen, subject to the actual situation.

The TD's Emergency Transport Co-ordination Centre will operate round the clock to closely monitor the actual traffic situation at sea together with public transport operators. If practicable, normal services will be resumed as soon as possible and services will be enhanced as needed to ease passenger flow.

The TD will work with relevant District Offices and operators to enhance information dissemination through websites, mobile apps, notices and broadcasts at piers and onboard as well as district networks to inform passengers of the arrangements. Members of the public should heed the latest traffic news via radio and television broadcasts, the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk), the HKeMobility mobile app and the operators.
