Can Mainland Vehicles Cross the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge?
1 Answers
Mainland vehicles require relevant permits to cross the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Currently, apart from Hong Kong-registered single-plate vehicles, Guangdong-Hong Kong dual-plate vehicles, and Guangdong-Macao dual-plate vehicles, other mainland vehicles can only enter Hong Kong and Macao by applying for a one-time private car quota. Before the bridge opened, approximately 10,000 Hong Kong dual-plate private cars and 1,000 mainland private car quotas were issued. The following types of vehicles are allowed on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: 1. Cross-border buses: In the first year of the bridge's operation, a total of 200 cross-border bus quotas were allocated, all of which have now been issued. There are also specific regulations for cross-border buses, which are not allowed to pick up new passengers within the bridge port area. 2. Shuttle buses: There are no quota restrictions for shuttle buses. The operating schedule for shuttle buses is as follows: during peak hours, they run every 5 minutes; during off-peak hours, every 10-15 minutes; and late at night, every 15-30 minutes. 3. Cross-border taxis: There are 250 cross-border taxi quotas for Hong Kong and Macao, with each quota allocated to one cross-border taxi. There are no restrictions on the number of trips for cross-border taxis. 4. Freight vehicles: In the early stages of the bridge's operation, Guangdong-Hong Kong cross-border trucks can pass through the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge without formalities, and there are no specific restrictions on quotas.
