This is... very few. Should they open it up to anyone that wants to use it? Otherwise it kind of defeats the purpose of connecting the cities.
- pcr0 8y agoCar ownership in Hong Kong, and even the rest of the bay area is relatively low. Lot of it is probably buses.
- JoeAltmaier 8y agoA look at a satellite view shows the bridge pretty much empty - maybe 3 trucks. And no backup at the 'customs house' on the end - totally empty lanes. Maybe it was a holiday or the weekend; but still. https://www.google.com/maps/search/kong-zhuhai-macau+bridge/@22.2109847,113.5819902,399m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en https://www.google.com/maps/search/kong-zhuhai-macau+bridge/... Oh! The HK end is still under construction in the picture. So its old. The trucks are probably bringing supplies for construction.
