The Transport Department has noted that local and cross-border public transport operators will enhance their services during the Easter holidays.
They advise travelers to plan their journeys in advance, allocate sufficient travel time, and, if possible, travel during off-peak hours to avoid congestion.
The MTR Corporation has announced an increase in train frequencies on the East Rail Line today and the following Monday to accommodate the surge in passengers.
The Airport Authority has reported that due to the holiday rush, long-term parking spaces at Airport Carpark No. 4 are fully occupied. They recommend that travelers use public transportation for airport access.
