The Transport Department has warned that holiday traffic is expected to reach its peak on Sunday afternoon, urging cross-border travelers to plan ahead and avoid peak hours. The busiest period is forecast to be between the afternoon and early evening of October 4, with longer waiting times anticipated for public transport services.
The department has instructed local and cross-border public transport operators to increase services during the upcoming National Day holiday, known as the "Golden Week." Passengers are advised to expect longer waiting times for the Golden Bus shuttle and franchised bus B routes, and are urged to avoid traveling during peak hours.
The department has also noted that traffic at the Zhuhai port and nearby roads has been heavy during previous peak holiday periods, following the closure of a temporary bridge connecting Zhuhai to the artificial island. It is recommending that travelers utilize public transport whenever possible.
