At 9 am this morning, a large number of people were not lined up at the bus stop in Yuen Long to the Shenzhen Bay Port. Mr. Ye, a Hong Kong resident who lives and works in Shenzhen, came to explore the road today to study the drive to Shenzhen Bay Port. He said that he lived with his family near the Futian Port in Shenzhen (that is, Lok Ma Chau) and now has to travel a lot to get back and forth. Mr. Ye said that he hadn't traveled between Shenzhen and Shenzhen via the Shenzhen Bay, so he wanted to see if the ride was convenient.

He needed to take medicine for heart disease for a long time. Back to Shenzhen's home. He explained Baihai ’s requirements for customs clearance, but he did n’t know what to do if even Shenzhen Bay was closed. “I ’m really going to meet with the housing company in a few months?”

The bus B12 to Shenzhen Bay did not have many passengers in the morning, and the seats were sparse. After arriving at Shenzhen Bay, there were no large crowds at the entrance to Hong Kong. The staff of the China-Hong Kong Stock Connect Bus, which is responsible for guiding and assisting passengers with their luggage, said that since the start of the demonstrations, a large number of mainland passengers have rarely come to Hong Kong. As a result, the number of bus trips has been greatly reduced. Only a few days ago, a large number of passengers appeared. Hong Kong people returning after the Chinese New Year, sometimes when the 51-seater bus reaches 30 people, the luggage compartment is full. "

Some Hong Kong resident Guo, who lives in Shenzhen and works in Hong Kong, dragged three suitcases to reach the cross-border bus today. She said yesterday that she had received the news of closing the gate, and Li Li moved to Hong Kong tonight. She said that she does not need to work in the office now, but if she really closes the remaining gates, "there is no way to return to work."
