Hong Kong is facing the fifth wave of the new crown epidemic, which coincides with the Lunar New Year. Many people are not afraid of the epidemic and choose to return to the Mainland for the New Year. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge shuttle bus, commonly known as “Golden Bus,” currently provides limited services, but some people want to use it to make “New Year’s fortune” by selling speculative tickets online, and speculating the original price of HK$65 to and from Hong Kong’s Zhuhai route. The “sky price” as high as HK$5,000; some people also bid HK$3,000 for tickets online. “Gimba” issued a notice the day before (3rd), stating that the real-name ticket system will be implemented from the next day (4th) to prevent speculation.
According to the notice of Jinba, in order to ensure the orderly purchase of tickets and rides for passengers, according to the requirements of higher authorities, starting from January 4, 2022, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge shuttle bus WeChat public account and website will be used to purchase buses from Hong Kong to Zhuhai. For the ticket, the name of the passenger and the valid ID number must be provided. You must accept and agree to the relevant “Instructions for Passengers” and “Privacy Policy” when purchasing tickets.
In addition, the passenger’s name and identification document number are printed on the ticket, and the staff will ask the passenger to present the original identification document during the invoice or boarding period to verify the information. If the information does not match, the person concerned may be refused to ride. At present, Jinba departs from Hong Kong to Zhuhai Port every day, and only provides 6 trips. Each adult ticket is priced at RMB 65.
