Special Traffic Arrangements for Concert at Kai Tak Sports Park from April 24 to 27 Announced.

Special traffic and transport arrangements for Kai Tak Sports Park concert from April 24 to 27

The Transport Department (TD) today (April 22) said that, to facilitate the holding of a concert at the Kai Tak Sports Park (KTSP) on the evening of April 24 to 27 (hereunder referred to as event dates), special traffic and transport arrangements will be implemented to provide convenience for spectators to travel to and from the KTSP. Cross-boundary travellers are urged to plan their journeys early and use the MTR services as far as possible. Those who plan to return to the Mainland using cross-boundary coach services should purchase tickets in advance.

A spokesman for the TD said, "We have been working with relevant bureaux/departments, the KTSP Limited, the event organiser as well as local and cross-boundary public transport operators to plan ahead the public transport services and ancillary transport facilities in advance, so that concertgoers can arrive at the venue conveniently and then leave in an orderly manner. As the traffic in the vicinity of the KTSP is expected to be heavy, they should opt for public transport and avoid driving. No parking space will be provided in the KTSP during the event period."

(1) Railway services

To facilitate the dispersal of an outflux of spectators, the interval between trains of the MTR Tuen Ma Line and northbound East Rail Line (ERL) will be enhanced during the dispersal period on the event dates. Spare trains will be arranged to meet the additional demand.

Of note, for cross-boundary travellers, the last train to Lo Wu Station via interchanging at Tai Wai Station on the ERL will depart from Sung Wong Toi Station at 10.59pm and Kai Tak Station at 11.01pm. Travellers who miss the last train to Lo Wu Station may take the ERL to Sheung Shui Station and then the KMB route No. 276B or N73 to Lok Ma Chau (San Tin) Public Transport Interchange (PTI), and transfer to the Lok Ma Chau-Huanggang (LMC-HG) cross-boundary shuttle bus (Yellow Bus) for their journey to the Mainland.

(2) Special bus route services

To provide convenience for cross-boundary travellers, two special bus routes will be provided during the dispersal period on the event dates to Lok Ma Chau (San Tin) PTI and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) Hong Kong Port/Airport, thereby transferring to the Yellow Bus for their journey to the Mainland and the HZMB shuttle bus (Gold Bus) for their return to Macao or Zhuhai, or departing from Hong Kong via the airport respectively. Including routes to major districts across the territory, a total of 11 special bus routes will be provided in the Sung Wong Toi Road Pick-up/Drop-off Area (PUDOA):

(3) Cross-boundary coach services

The KTSP Limited will arrange cross-boundary coach services during the dispersal period on the event dates to facilitate travellers' return to the Mainland via the LMC/HG Port. Passengers should purchase tickets prior to the concert (on-site ticket sales not available during dispersal) and board their coach at the PUDOA on the G/F, Kai Tak Stadium, via the escalator outside Gate H, 2/F. They should refer to the operators' website (Eternal East Bus: www.myeebus.com/eebusfans; CTG Bus: m.hkctgbus.com/#/layout/home) for the latest ticket information.

(4) Special appeal to cross-boundary travellers

In anticipation of a large number of cross-boundary travellers returning to the Mainland after the concert, the LMC/HG Port is expected to be very busy and the clearance time will be longer. The TD urges travellers returning to the Mainland to take the MTR trains departing from Sung Wong Toi Station before 10.59pm and Kai Tak Station before 11.01pm to Lo Wu Station on the ERL via interchanging at Tai Wai Station if possible. A dedicated passage will be established at the LMC/HG Port when necessary to ensure the smooth operation of public transport services.

(5) Taxi services

On the above event dates, the Sung Wong Toi Road PUDOA will be opened from 2pm to midnight for taxi pick-up/drop-off. The TD will mobilise the taxi trade for picking up passengers. The waiting time will be longer amid an outflux of spectators during dispersal and passengers' patience is appreciated. The KTSP Limited will open the Taxi Drop-off Area at Kai Tak Stadium and Kai Tak Arena during admission phase for drop-off only.

Spectators are advised to take heed of the real-time information via the on-site broadcast and the "Easy Leave" platform (easyleave.police.gov.hk) as well as the latest traffic news through the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk), the "HKeMobility" mobile application and radio and television broadcasts.

Notice on appointments to advisory and statutory bodies

A Government spokesman said today (January 12) that Mr Chan Kin-por recently sought approval from the Chief Executive to suspend his three public positions as appointed by the Chief Executive, until the completion of the work of the Independent Committee in relation to the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po (Independent Committee). Mr Chan made this request to allow himself more time to dedicate to the work of the Independent Committee. After due consideration, the Chief Executive has agreed to and approved this request. The three public positions are: (1) Chairman of Independent Commission Against Corruption Advisory Committee on Corruption; (2) Non-executive Director of Urban Renewal Authority Board; and (3) Member of Honours and Non-official Justices of the Peace Selection Committee.

On December 12, 2025, the Government established the Independent Committee to examine the causes of the incident and related issues, ascertain the facts, and make recommendations on preventing similar tragedies and on improvement measures. The Independent Committee is chaired by Mr Justice David Lok, with Mr Chan Kin-por and Dr Rex Auyeung Pak-kuen serving as members. The Independent Committee held its first meeting on December 19 last year and aims to complete its work within nine months of commencing operations.

Mr Chan Kin-por wrote earlier to the Chief Executive, expressing his wish to suspend the aforementioned three public positions until the Independent Committee completes its work, in order to dedicate more time and focus to the Independent Committee's tasks. The Chief Executive has agreed to and approved the request.

A Government spokesperson said that since the fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, both the Government and the wider community have been highly concerned about the causes of the incident and the follow-up work. The scope of the Independent Committee's work is extensive, particularly concerning systemic issues related to bid-rigging and connected interests. Given the numerous issues involved and their complex nature, the Government will fully co-operate with the Independent Committee to ensure that it can complete its work and compile its report within nine months. The Government extends its gratitude to Mr Chan for accepting the appointment as a member of the Independent Committee and for his professional and conscientious approach to the Committee's work. When the Independent Committee's work is completed, the Government looks forward to Mr Chan's continuous contribution through his aforementioned public positions.
