The government has announced a flat HK$8 toll for all vehicles utilizing the Central Kowloon Bypass starting December 6, as the final sections of the mega project come online. The Transport and Logistics Bureau's spokesperson explained that the toll was set considering public affordability, aiming to cover operating costs while diverting traffic from congested Kowloon roads.
Publicity campaigns are being conducted to ensure residents understand the new toll arrangement.
