Summary
The Transport Department announced on Tuesday that the new Huanggang Port is set to open soon, with comprehensive public transport arrangements in place to facilitate smooth travel for residents and visitors. The new checkpoint in Shenzhen's Futian District will feature 7 dedicated franchised bus routes, 6 green minibus routes, cross-border bus services, and taxi services. The facility will operate 24 hours and implement the "cooperative inspection, one-time clearance" model for the first time, allowing passengers to complete both departure and arrival procedures in a single queue. The old shuttle bus service connecting the old Huanggang Port will cease operations once the new port opens.
Key Points
- The new Huanggang Port will launch 4 new franchised bus routes (B10, B12, B14, B15) and extend 3 existing routes (B11, B13, NB73), totaling 7 routes
- Among the 6 green minibus routes, 4 operate overnight (79S, N44B, 616S) and fares range from $9.7 to $28.5
- The cheapest option is KMB B11 from Tin Shui Wai Tin Fu Court at $10.5, while the most expensive is Citybus B13 from Siu Sai Wan at $27.6
- Three bus routes (B10, B13, B14) will stop at the Tai Lam Tunnel interchange, providing access to approximately 50 bus lines serving Kowloon East, Kowloon West, Yau Tsim Mong, and Tsuen Wan
- The new "cooperative inspection, one-time clearance" system features 134 self-service channels and 68 traditional counters, reducing crossing time from 30 minutes to approximately 5 minutes
Why It Matters
The opening of the new Huanggang Port represents a significant enhancement to the infrastructure connecting Hong Kong and Shenzhen, offering residents more convenient and diverse transport options for cross-border travel. The dramatically reduced crossing time and extended operating hours will encourage more Hong Kong residents to travel north for work, tourism, and daily activities, strengthening economic and social ties between the two cities.
