The Transport Department (TD) today (August 29) announced that eligible operators are invited to apply for the second batch of the regular quota for Guangdong/Hong Kong cross-boundary coach services using the Heung Yuen Wai Control Point (100 in total). The deadline for application is 5pm on September 19 (Thursday).
A new quota of 85 for Guangdong/Hong Kong cross-boundary coach services will be jointly issued by the governments of Guangdong and Hong Kong. Moreover, the two governments are also accepting applications from eligible operators under the existing cross-boundary coach regular quota using the Man Kam To Control Point or the Sha Tau Kok Control Point to switch and use the Heung Yuen Wai Control Point. The cross-boundary coach quota for switching is 15. The first batch under the regular quota (100 quotas in total, including 77 new quotas and 23 for switching) were issued in June this year.
Applicants shall be in the name of a Guangdong/Hong Kong joint venture and submit their application forms respectively to the TD and the Land and Air Ports Administration Division of the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province before the deadline. If an applicant fails to submit the application form with identical content to the two governments concurrently, the application may not be considered.
The application form can be downloaded from the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk).
