Bus parade to engage with public to witness bus development and celebrate National Day
**************************************************************************************
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will hold the bus parade amid the National Day celebrations on October 19, engaging with the public to witness the development of bus services to celebrate the occasion. Co-organising the event, the franchised bus operators will present a total of eight retired and in-service buses with an open-top bus themed on the 75th National Day to lead the parade.
Starting at around 11am on that day, the parade buses will depart from Victoria Park in Causeway Bay for Man Kwong Street via Gordon Road, King's Road, Causeway Road, Hennessy Road, Fleming Road and Lung Wo Road (parade route map in Annex). The route is about 6 kilometres long and will take about 30 minutes to complete. Members of the public can enjoy the parade along the route and take photos at the best viewing locations, such as Hennessy Road near Jardine's Bazaar in Causeway Bay, Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai, and the destination at Central Pier, to share in the joy of National Day.
During the parade, the Police will lead the convoy and implement appropriate traffic arrangements and crowd safety management measures subject to on-site traffic and crowd conditions. The TD appeals the public and motorists to follow instructions of the Police and to keep in view the latest traffic news.
For safety reasons, in case of adverse weather, the bus parade will be cancelled. The public should refer to the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk) and Agent T Facebook page (www.facebook.com/AgentT.hk) for the latest updates.
