周一上午，香港运输署推出在线预约免试驾驶执照系统后，仅半小时内300个每日名额即被抢光，逾千人同时申请。邮报记者在7时准时加入队列，却遭遇数字瓶颈，最终未能成功预约。该系统旨在解决此前排长龙和黄牛问题。
香港运输署于周一推出在线队列系统，允许申请人直接申请免试驾驶执照，以取代以往需排长龙的实体程序。此举旨在打击黄牛倒卖和减少等待时间。然而，系统上线后立即遭遇高需求。
据南华早报报道，邮报记者在7时系统开放之际加入队列，当时已有1,065人排在前方，系统初始估计等待36分钟。但随着队列推进，等待时间急剧延长，即使记者升至第785位，等待仍超过一小时。最终在7时36分，屏幕刷新显示所有名额已分配完毕，整个过程仅用30多分钟。
运输署表示，系统以小批量处理申请表单访问，因此不同用户的等待时间可能有所差异。此前，申请免试执照需在金钟牌照事务办事处排队，常出现长龙和黄牛问题。运输及物流局推动此在线系统，以提升效率。
这一事件凸显了香港驾驶执照申请的热门程度，尤其对持有有效海外驾照并符合条件的申请人。部门未透露每日名额是否会增加，但强调系统将持续优化。
