Time The TD has co-ordinated with local and cross-boundary public transport operators to strengthen their services during dispersal: Special appeal to cross-boundary travellers
Spectators who plan to return to the Mainland on the same day after the football matches should pay special attention that, if they use the Lo Wu Control Point, they should take the MTR Island Line at Causeway Bay Station to Admiralty Station, and interchange the ERL towards Lo Wu Station. The last connecting train towards Lo Wu Station will depart from Causeway Bay Station at 10.44pm and Admiralty Station at 11.01pm. Travellers should plan their journeys ahead and arrive at the station platform in advance.
For travellers who opt for LMC/HG Port (operating 24 hours daily), apart from the above special bus service route No. 976S directly departing from Causeway Bay, they may also take the MTR ERL to Sheung Shui Station and then KMB route No. 276B or N73, and transfer to the LMC-HG cross-boundary shuttle bus (Yellow Bus) for their journey to the Mainland. Members of the public are advised to make use of public transport services as far as possible to avoid traffic congestion and unnecessary delays. During the event, the TD and the Police will closely monitor the traffic situation. The Police may adjust the traffic arrangements subject to the prevailing crowd and traffic conditions in the areas. Members of the public should pay attention to the latest traffic news through radio, television or the “HKeMobility” mobile application.
