To reduce the risk of the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the community, the Transport Department (TD) said today (May 15) that special arrangements will continue to be implemented at the seven government car parks under the management of the TD for the sale of monthly tickets for June. 
 
     "The existing holders of a monthly ticket for private car/van, motorcycle or taxi for May can purchase a monthly ticket for the same vehicle type for June with priority. These eligible monthly ticket holders have to complete the procedures for purchasing the monthly ticket for June by 9pm on May 22 at the shroff office of the car park concerned. Any such person who fails to purchase the monthly ticket before the above deadline will be regarded as having given up his or her right to purchase the monthly ticket for June. The unsold monthly tickets for private car/van for June will be sold at the shroff offices of the car parks concerned on a first-come, first-served basis from 7.30am on May 23, while the unsold monthly tickets for motorcycle and taxi for June will be sold at the shroff offices from 7.30am on May 24," a spokesman for the TD said.
 
     The seven government car parks are Star Ferry Car Park, City Hall Car Park, Tin Hau Car Park, Shau Kei Wan Car Park, Aberdeen Car Park, Kwai Fong Car Park and Tsuen Wan Car Park.
 
     The car park operators will put up notices in the car parks in advance to inform motorists of the above special arrangements.
 
     The spokesman particularly reminded car park users that subject to the latest situation of COVID-19, the TD will consider reverting to the sale of monthly tickets on a first-come first-served basis at an appropriate juncture, or adopting balloting temporarily for the sale of monthly tickets, having regard to the physical conditions and parking situations of the car parks concerned. Car park users are advised to pay attention to the announcement of the TD.
