All new routes will be operated by air-conditioned buses.
Cross harbour bus routes nos.105, 114, 117 and 334 will be diverted to observe Western Harbour Crossing and renumbered as nos.905, 914, 917 and 934 respectively.
The terminating points of the four diverted routes are as follows:
Route no.905 (Lai Chi Kok (Amusement Park) - Wan Chai Ferry Pier);
Route no.914 (Sham Shui Po Ferry Pier - Tin Hau MTR Station);
Route no.917 (Sham Shui Po (Yen Chow Street) - Happy Valley); and
Route no.934 (Bayview Garden - Causeway Bay).
"Passengers will benefit from the diverted routes in terms of shorter journey time, better service frequency and larger catchment areas," Mr Hung added.
Two new peak-hour cross harbour bus services, no.105A (Cross Harbour Tunnel Toll Plaza - Central (Macau Ferry Pier)) and no.905P (Lai Chi Kok - Kennedy Town) will be introduced to cater for passenger's demand.
Cross harbour bus route no.100 will cease operation. Passengers who want to travel to Causeway Bay can take other cross harbour routes, such as nos.103, 110, 111, 112 and 118.
The toll plaza bus stops of Western Harbour Crossing will be opened on the same day for bus-bus interchange.
A temporary pedestrian link between the bus stops and Jordan area will be available a few months later.
