Hong Kong urges Kai Tak Stadium audience to use rail, avoid illegal taxis
Hong Kong government calls on Kai Tak Stadium audience to use rail for departure, avoid illegal taxis. Authorities coordinate enhanced MTR and bus services for the 12 November 2026 event, with cross-border options including rail to Lo Wu and pre-booked coaches.
The Hong Kong government has urged audiences leaving the Kai Tak Stadium to use the railway and avoid illegal taxis, following a performance on 12 November 2026. The Transport Department coordinated with local and cross-border public transport operators to strengthen services during the departure period.
The MTR will increase the frequency of the Tuen Ma Line. Spectators planning to return to mainland China on the same day should plan their journeys and use the MTR to Lo Wu station. The last train from Sung Wong Toi station to Lo Wu via Tai Wau transfer departs at 10:59 pm, and from Kai Tak station at 11:01 pm. Passengers are advised to go to the platform early.
Audience returning to the mainland can also take cross-border coaches arranged by the Kai Tak Sports Park during the departure period. Tickets must be purchased in advance on the operator's online platform; no tickets will be sold on site. In addition, franchised bus companies provide 11 special bus routes from the drop-off area on Sung Wong Toi Road to major districts across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. The taxi drop-off area at the Kai Tak Stadium will be open, but waiting times may be long.
The government reminded travellers not to take illegal taxis. In the event of a traffic accident, the third-party liability insurance of vehicles providing illegal services may become invalid, putting passengers at risk. A government spokesman emphasised that travellers using cross-border taxis should ensure the vehicle has a valid hire car permit, a "Cross Boundary Hire Car" identification sticker on the left side of the windscreen and the rear, and an assigned vehicle number. Travellers should verify the permit on the Transport Department's online enquiry system at www.gov.hk/hirecarpermit by entering the vehicle registration number.
Audience should follow on-site announcements and real-time information on the "Easy Leave" platform at easyleave.police.gov.hk, as well as the latest traffic news on the Transport Department website at www.td.gov.hk, the "Hong Kong Travel Easy" mobile app, radio and television.
