The Security Bureau today launched "Easy Boundary", a one-stop information platform on immigration clearance, to provide Hong Kong residents and visitors with the latest information on various land boundary control points (BCPs), helping them plan their cross-boundary trips. "Easy Boundary" uses green, yellow and red lights to signify the situation of land BCPs in three levels: "Normal", "Busy" and "Very Busy", respectively, with rough estimates of the average waiting time. Additionally, with the aim of keeping passengers informed, the relevant information will be updated every 15 minutes. Previously, passengers had to obtain the information now available on "Easy Boundary" from different platforms, such as by checking the waiting time at the departure/arrival halls of BCPs and road traffic conditions respectively on the Immigration Department (ImmD) and Transport Department (TD) mobile applications. From now on, passengers can obtain useful information on "Easy Boundary" in one go, including the respective average waiting time for passengers and private cars at land BCPs, as well as for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) cross-boundary shuttle bus (Gold Bus) and the Lok Ma Chau-Huanggang cross-boundary shuttle bus (Yellow Bus). "Easy Boundary" will also display real-time ad hoc situations at BCPs, including major traffic accidents nearby. If a "Very Busy" signal is displayed in respect of a particular control point or if an emergency occurs, passengers may consider using other ports or allowing sufficient time for immigration clearance. Moreover, "Easy Boundary" is also integrated with links to obtain other real-time information, including real-time information on immigration clearance from "iPort", a WeChat mini programme of the Office of Port of Entry & Exit of the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government, and that of the HZMB Zhuhai Port, as well as Hong Kong's real-time traffic conditions. Information on "Easy Boundary" is provided by the ImmD, the Police Force and the TD. In the next phase, the platform will introduce real-time images, and utilise advanced technology, such as artificial intelligence, to assess the real-time situation of immigration clearance at land BCPs.
