Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao bridge gets off to good start, ministry says

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has got off to a good start, serving about 1.79 million passengers in the first month of smooth and orderly operation, the Ministry of Transport said on Thursday.

As of midnight on Tuesday, the bridge's daily passenger volume reached 64,000, with the highest hitting 103,000 on Nov 18.

"The figures exceed our expectations," said Yiu Si-wing, who represents the tourism sector in the legislature of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. He added that the bridge's first month of operation had a positive impact on the city's tourism industry.
