Gov’t car park fees to be frozen

The parking fees of 12 government public car parks will be frozen at their existing levels for one year from June 1, the Transport Department announced today.

 

In reviewing the parking fees, the department said it considered the inflation rate, private car park charges and usage of the government car parks.

 

Having considered the impact on the economy brought by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the impact on usage of the car parks, the department decided to maintain the parking fees at existing levels.

 

The 12 car parks are Kennedy Town Car Park, Rumsey Street Car Park, Star Ferry Car Park, City Hall Car Park, Tin Hau Car Park, Shau Kei Wan Car Park, Aberdeen Car Park, Yau Ma Tei Car Park, Sheung Fung Street Car Park, Wong Tai Sin Public Transport Terminus Car Park, Kwai Fong Car Park and Tsuen Wan Car Park.
