Moovit wishes everybody a very Prosperous Chinese New Year. 恭喜發財,萬事如意
We wish you a very prosperous CNY, with lots of hongbao like them (With the pandemic that is affecting us, maybe e-hongbao would be better alternative)
Here are the changes:
1) Post-COVID19 Circuit Breaker Period – Changes to public transport services

More details on the suspension can be found here.
