Hong Kong Considers Adjusting Tunnel Tolls as Traffic Surges

Hong Kong's three cross-harbour tunnels may see toll adjustments in response to traffic levels that have surpassed those recorded before recent reforms. This development comes 2½ years after the implementation of time-varying charges aimed at managing congestion.
