Hong Kong Enhances Public Transport Services for Extended Weekend



In preparation for the upcoming Easter holidays, Hong Kong has announced significant improvements to its public transport services to ensure smooth travel during the extended weekend. The MTR (Mass Transit Railway), KMB (Kowloon Motor Bus), and Citybus will be increasing their services, offering more frequent connections to and from the airport, border control points, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, catering to both local residents and cross-border travelers.

The MTR has planned additional train services on the Island Line, Tsuen Wan Line, South Island Line, and Disneyland Resort Line. This will accommodate citizens and tourists who wish to visit the waterfront's illuminated art installations and cultural events in Central during the holiday period. The South Island Line will see increased services throughout the day, particularly during morning, midday, and early evening peak hours. The Disneyland Resort Line will also have shorter intervals of approximately five minutes during selected morning and evening periods, ensuring convenient transportation for residents and visitors to the theme park.



For individuals planning to pay their respects at gravesites, the frequency of MTR bus route K52A from Tuen Mun Station to Ching Chung Koon will be increased from every 60 minutes to approximately every 15 to 30 minutes. This adjustment will be in effect from March 16 through the Easter holiday period, Ching Ming Festival, and subsequent weekends.


KMB anticipates a surge in residents traveling through various border control points and has accordingly planned to enhance services on routes connecting these checkpoints. Special offers, such as "two rides for the price of one," will be available on routes B1 and B9, allowing passengers to transfer at Yuen Long for travel to and from Lok Ma Chau or Shenzhen Bay. Additionally, KMB will increase service on route 6 (from Lai Chi Kok to Tsim Sha Tsui Pier) on March 29th, 30th, April 5th, and 6th, ensuring a pleasant travel experience for visitors exploring Kowloon's bustling Nathan Road and enjoying local culinary delights in areas like Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, and Sham Shui Po.



Long Win Bus has announced that route A46 (from Siu Hong Court in Fo Tan to Airport Ground Transportation Centre) will operate as a full-day service, effective immediately. This route, passing through Siu Hong, Wo Che, Lek Yuen, Sha Tin Central, Mei Lam, and Tsing Sha Highway Bus Interchange, will facilitate convenient travel to the airport or the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. From March 29th to April 7th, Long Win will enhance services across multiple district routes, all of which provide access to the bridge and airport.


During the peak of the Easter long holiday, Citybus will operate services to the two major land border control points, Shenzhen Bay and Lok Ma Chau, as frequently as every five and seven minutes, respectively. To accommodate island residents, Citybus will introduce an overnight route, NA10, and enhance services on routes A21 and A23. The Airport Express A25 from Kai Tak, passing through Hung Hom, Whampoa, and Tsim Sha Tsui to the Hong Kong Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the airport, will be upgraded to a full-day service without any days off.


These enhanced public transport services aim to provide residents and visitors with convenient and efficient travel options during the extended weekend. By increasing frequency and improving connectivity, Hong Kong seeks to ensure a seamless and enjoyable travel experience for all.


香港提升公共交通服務,應對延長周末


為迎接即將到來的復活節假期,香港宣布對公共交通服務進行重大改善,以確保在延長的周末期間能夠順暢旅行。港鐵、九巴和城巴將增加服務,提供更頻繁的連接機場、邊境檢查站和港珠澳大橋的交通,滿足本地居民和跨境旅客的需求。


港鐵計劃在港島線、荃灣線、南港島線和迪士尼線上增加列車服務。這將方便市民和遊客參觀中環海濱的藝術裝置和文化活動。南港島線將全天增加服務,特別是在早上、中午和傍晚高峰時段。迪士尼線在選定的早上和傍晚時段將間隔縮短至約五分鐘,以更好地服務居民和遊樂園遊客。


對於計劃前往墳場致意的人士,港鐵巴士K52A路線將增加班次,從每60分鐘增加至約每15至30分鐘。此調整將從3月16日起至復活節假期、清明節和隨後的週末生效。


九巴預計居民通過各個邊境檢查站的出行量將增加,因此計劃加強相關路線的服務。B1和B9路線提供“一價兩程”的特別優惠,乘客可以在元朗轉車,往返羅湖或深圳灣。此外,九巴將在3月29日、30日和4月5日、6日增加6號路線(從荔枝角到尖沙咀碼頭)的服務,確保遊客可以暢遊九龍繁華的彌敦道,品味油麻地、旺角和深水埗等地的美食。


龍運巴士宣布,A46路線(從火炭小康苑到機場陸路交通中心)將立即全天候運營。該路線途經火炭、禾輋、瀝源、沙田中心、美林和青沙公路巴士轉運站,方便前往機場或港珠澳大橋。從3月29日至4月7日,龍運巴士將增加多個區域路線的服務,所有這些路線均可到達港珠澳大橋和機場。


城巴宣布,在復活節長假的高峰期,前往深圳灣和羅湖這兩個主要陸地邊境檢查站的服務將每五分鐘和七分鐘一班。為了方便香港島居民,城巴將引入NA10夜間路線,並增加A21和A23路線的服務。從啟德出發的機場快線A25,途經紅磡、黃埔和尖沙咀,前往港珠澳大橋的香港口岸和機場,將全天候提供服務,無休息日安排。


這些增強的公共交通服務旨在為居民和遊客提供便利和高效的旅行選擇,確保他們在延長的周末期間能夠順利愉快地旅行。通過增加班次和改善連接性,香港希望為所有人提供無縫和愉快的旅行體驗。
