Man Kam To reopens to northbound passenger vehicles
The Man Kam To checkpoint reopened for coaches and taxis heading north on Wednesday morning, several days after crossings were curtailed due to subsidence at the site. Goods vehicles, however, were still required to use other crossings. On an RTHK programme, Secretary for Hong Kong Guangdong Boundary Crossing Bus Association Limited Freeman Cheung said he was glad to see the checkpoint reopen, but it isn't that well-used in any case. “The demand mainly comes from regular customers such as nearby workers or cross-border students. With the opening of the Heung Yuen Wai checkpoint, [Man Kam To] caters to these two groups of customers and not many others,” Cheung said. Some truck drivers said they hoped they would also be able to resume using the checkpoint soon, as having to go to Heung Yuen Wai was adding 40 minutes to their journeys.
