The Transport Department said today public transport services have been seriously affected by road closures and traffic diversions in various districts.
More than 60 day time bus routes were suspended during the day and over 150 routes were diverted or truncated to omit Central, Admiralty, Causeway Bay and Mong Kok.
People should plan their journey in advance, avoid road-based public transport and pay attention to TV and radio announcements, it said.
The department’s Emergency Transport Co-ordination Centre will continue to closely monitor the traffic situation and handle incidents, and co-ordinate the announcements on traffic and public transport services.
