Bookings will not be required for vehicles travelling to Guangdong Province via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) under Northbound Travel for Hong Kong Vehicles scheme on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from September 1.

The Transport Department made the announcement today and explained that the move is to provide convenience to members of the public in travelling under the scheme more flexibly.

The governments of Guangdong and Hong Kong mutually agreed to enhance the booking arrangements for travelling under the scheme after discussion.

The department will update the website later to set out dates in the coming six months when bookings are not required.

Dates in the following month when bookings are not required will be announced on the first calendar day of each month via the Specified Dates Booking System for applicants' reference.

On specified dates, booking is still required, including Hong Kong or Mainland public holidays and the day before, toll-free days of the HZMB and other dates specified by the authority.

Booking is also required on Mondays and Thursdays to Sundays. The scheme's eligibility, application procedures and balloting remain unchanged.

Existing arrangements of accepting bookings for specified dates in the following month from the 15th calendar day of each month will also remain unchanged.
