Summary
Citybus said it will introduce special route SP12 on major event days at Kai Tak Sports Park, providing a one-stop trip from the venue to Huanggang Port in about 40 minutes for HK$28.4. The new arrangement starts on October 24 to coincide with The Weeknd: After Hours Til Dawn Tour in Hong Kong, with services also running on October 25, 30 and 31 after the concerts. Citybus said the opening of the new Huanggang Port means passengers no longer need to get off at Lok Ma Chau (San Tin) to transfer to the cross-boundary shuttle bus. In total, six special post-event routes will operate, including airport route A25S and services to Mong Kok, Tseung Kwan O, Central and Siu Sai Wan.
Key Points
- SP12 will run directly from Kai Tak Sports Park to Huanggang Port on designated event days, with an estimated journey time of about 40 minutes.
- The fare for SP12 is HK$28.4, while Cityflyer special route A25S to the Hong Kong Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the airport costs HK$47.1.
- The new service begins on October 24, the first night of The Weeknd’s Hong Kong concerts, and will also operate on October 25, 30 and 31.
- Citybus said all six special routes will begin departing about 15 minutes after each concert ends, or earlier if vehicles fill up.
- According to Citybus, SP12 boarding will be on Sung Wong Toi Road beside Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground, reachable from the main stadium via the West Bridge footbridge
Why It Matters
For concertgoers heading across the border or to the airport, the new arrangement reduces the need for an extra transfer after late-night events and may shorten overall dispersal time from Kai Tak Sports Park. The wider network of six post-event routes also shows how transport operators are adapting services around large-scale entertainment events at the new venue.
