The Transport Department (TD) today (November 14) reminded members of the public to pay attention to the traffic situation and the latest public transport service arrangement this morning before starting their journey.
As at 6am today, the latest public transport situation is as follows:
(I) MTR
All MTR lines maintain services. Except the Airport Express Line, the train service will end at 10pm.
From start of service, East Rail Line stations between Sha Tin and Lo Wu / Lok Ma Chau will be closed and trains will not stop at these stations. Tung Chung, Mong Kok, Tseung Kwan O, Sai Wan Ho and Tuen Mun stations are closed and trains will not stop at these stations. Entrances/Exits at some stations are closed. Other train stations may be closed within a short period of time due to incidents. Members of the public are advised to continue to stay tuned to the latest traffic news.
Light Rail Routes 705, 706 and 751P are suspended. Light Rail Routes 614, 614P, 761P and 751 are diverted. Light Rail Vehicles will not stop at Chestwood and Yau Oi stops.
(II) Franchised bus
Road-based transport services have been seriously affected this morning due to continued road blockages and damage to road facilities. In view of safety concerns and uncertain road conditions, buses can only provide limited services. The New Territories East, the New Territories West and Kowloon have been affected more seriously.
As Tolo Highway and Cross Harbour Tunnel (both bounds) are yet to be re-opened, services of relevant bus routes will not be provided.
Some bus routes may be temporarily diverted subject to the road conditions. The major affected road sections include Argyle Street near Sai Yee Street, Nathan Road between Prince Edward Road West and Waterloo Road (both bounds) and Tuen Mun Heung Sze Wui Road.
(III) Tramway
Due to road condition, tram service will only be provided between Kennedy Town and Sai Wan Ho.
About 240 sets of damaged traffic lights are under urgent repair in various districts. Motorists and pedestrians are advised to be patient and pay attention to road safety when passing through the affected junctions. For the safety of road users, the TD again appeals to members of the public to stop damaging traffic lights and other road facilities.
As traffic conditions and railway services may change within a short period of time, the TD urges commuters using public transport services to allow more travelling time and plan their journey in advance.
