Some district councillors expressed support for a new route between the three places, but the boarding location can be changed to the more convenient Baishijiao terrace, suggesting that the route can be extended to a regular commuter line in the future.


According to the documents of the Transport Department, the new "Tai Mei Tuk Kaito Route" between Tai Shui Hang to Ma Liu Shui and Tai Mei Tuk will operate on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. The one-way fare is 20 yuan per adult, 3 Children aged or under are free, and each bicycle and pet are charged 10 yuan and 20 yuan respectively.

District councilor urges Ma Liushui Pier to change to Pak Shek Kok terrace to board boats

Shatin District Councilor Zhou Xiaolan has two suggestions for this new route. The current location of Ma Liushui Pier is relatively “separate”. Citizens need to get off at the University Station and walk for a while to arrive. Therefore, it is suggested to change the boarding location to scientific The Pak Shek Kok terrace near the park is more convenient for the public to reach by the vehicle road.

In addition, Zhou Xiaolan believes that the current new routes are limited to opening on holidays, and in the future, it is possible to consider adding commuter flights on weekdays to the routes to benefit more citizens.

Zhou Xiaolan believes that in the early days, the government planned the traffic in the vicinity of Longwei Beach inappropriately, which often caused traffic congestion. Therefore, it supported the bid for a new ferry route. However, whether it can effectively divert traffic when it is officially implemented in the future, it still needs to wait and see. Other matters such as ordinary citizens After changing from traveling by vehicle to traveling by boat, you need to pay attention to the changes in the location and number of parking spaces.

Looking forward to becoming a regular commuter line in the future to deal with traffic jams in Tolo Harbour

He Weilin, a member of the Tai Po District, said that the new route is currently only on a trial basis on holidays, and he hopes that it will evolve into a regular route in the future. He explained that the new route is a new maritime means of transportation, which can cope with traffic congestion at Tolo Port in the future. In addition, the current Tai Po District The transportation for residents is not very convenient. For example, from Tai Po to Ma On Shan, we can only rely on trains. After the new route is in operation, citizens will have more transportation options.

He Weilin also thinks that the Ma Liushui Pier is remote, and it is possible to consider changing to other places to board the ship. Taking the Science Park as an example, the transportation facilities and facilities there are relatively complete, and it is more convenient for citizens to board and disembark there.
