Adjustment of parking fees at government car parks managed by TD from March 1
***************************************************************

     The Transport Department (TD) today (February 28) reminded members of the public that parking fees at 13 government car parks under the management of the TD will be increased starting tomorrow (March 1).
          
     The 13 government car parks concerned are Kennedy Town Car Park, Rumsey Street Car Park, Star Ferry Car Park, City Hall Car Park, Murray Road Car Park, Tin Hau Car Park, Shau Kei Wan Car Park, Aberdeen Car Park, Yau Ma Tei Car Park, Sheung Fung Street Car Park, Kwai Fong Car Park, Tsuen Wan Car Park and Sheung Shui Park-and-Ride Car Park.

     Unless otherwise indicated, the adjustment of parking fees of the 13 government car parks is summarised as follows:
 
Vehicle Type Hourly Rate Day Park Night Park Monthly Parking Ticket
Private Car/Van +$1 +$5 +$5 (Note 1) +$100 (Note 2)
Motorcycle -- +$2 +$1 +$20
Taxi -- -- -- +$40
Note 1: The Night Park rate of Tsuen Wan Car Park remains unchanged.
Note 2: The monthly fee of a reserved parking space in Star Ferry and Murray Road Car Parks remains unchanged.
 
     In considering the adjustment of the parking fees at the 13 government car parks, the TD has taken into account certain factors, including the inflation rate since the last parking fees adjustment, the charges of nearby private sector public car parks and the utilisation of the government car parks.
          
     For details of the new parking fees, please visit the TD's website (www.td.gov.hk/en/transport_in_hong_kong/parking/carparks) or call 1823.
