New Aberdeen Tunnel bus interchange opens Jul 26

A new bus-bus interchange (BBI) at the Wong Chuk Hang portal of the Aberdeen Tunnel will be commissioned on July 26.

The Transport Department said a total of 37 bus routes, including a new one, will be available at the stop – named Aberdeen Tunnel Bus-Bus Interchange.

“This covers almost half of the bus routes serving the Southern District and significantly expands the bus network of Stanley,” a spokesman said.

“In addition, the introduction of Citybus route No. 770 will facilitate convenient travel for passengers between the Southern District and the vicinity of Chai Wan and Siu Sai Wan.”

There will also be interchange discounts on designated routes.

The new interchange will also enhance commuters waiting environment and improve bus efficiency, according to the government.

It was set up after the former Aberdeen Tunnel toll plaza was freed-up following the implementation of HKeToll.

Upon commission, the existing bus stops outside and opposite Wong Chuk Hang Hospital will be renamed as "Wong Chuk Hang Hospital/Complex for the Elderly".
