Hong Kong authorities plan to expand a scheme allowing mainland Chinese motorists to drive into the city for leisure.
Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan said on Saturday that about 15,000 motorists had applied for next month’s allotment, roughly three times the daily quota.
The scheme will double the daily quota for urban trips from 100 to 200 starting July 25 and extend to all nine mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area.
Chan said the plan is to extend the scheme to all 21 cities in Guangdong by the first quarter of next year.
