Hong Kong's Transport Department said on September 28 that traffic and public transport arrangements would be rolled out in phases alongside the first phase of Kai Tak Hospital's service commencement, to serve patients, carers, visitors and staff. Signs have been installed on roads near the hospital, and the department described driving routes from Kowloon Central, Kowloon East and Kowloon West via Shing Cheong Road.

In total, 10 franchised bus and six green minibus routes were to serve the hospital area, linking districts across Kowloon and nearby MTR stations. The source said KMB route 15A was extended to the hospital from that day, and Citybus routes 20X and 22S were new routes starting that day via the hospital. Two KMB special departures, 11A from Chuk Yuen and 17A from Oi Man, were planned to be introduced from October 5. A Rehabus feeder service between MTR Kai Tak and Lok Fu stations and the hospital area was also planned from October 5.

The department advised passengers to check operators' notices and apps and to allow extra time, noting traffic nearby could be busier during certain periods. It said over 40 bus and minibus routes have stops near Kai Fuk Road or Zero Carbon Park, with a covered footbridge link to the hospital.
