Hong Kong is expanding transport services, including introducing two new cross-border buses, to gear up for a series of highly anticipated concerts by British rock band Coldplay later this week.

Transport authorities said on Sunday that the two cross-border buses would launch on Tuesday. The band will perform at Kai Tak Stadium starting from the same day and wrapping up on Saturday.

Authorities will also operate a bus route, designated SP12, for concertgoers travelling between the venue and the Lok Ma Chau-San Tin public transport interchange for crossing over to Shenzhen via the Yellow Bus route.

Another route, designated A25S, will help Coldplay fans travel from the stadium to the local checkpoint on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, ensuring access to the city’s airport or Macau and Zhuhai via the Gold Bus.

The Transport Department said it had arranged 11 special bus services between Sung Wong Toi Road and major districts across the city.

“As the traffic in the vicinity of Kai Tak Sports Park is expected to be heavy, spectators should opt for public transport and avoid driving,” a spokesman said.
