If my local HK airport bus route is extended to the bridge, then the bridge might actually be more convenient for me. Also the buses are supposed to be significantly cheaper, which is going to attract plenty of people even if the bridge starts to collapse.

Anyway my question was in response to Chromie25 stating specifically that immigration would be more of a hassle. Surely for HK residents it will just be ID card and thumb (though I don't know why the Macau e-gates can't use the same design, I'm still not sure how to place my ID card in them and just move it around until it works...) Why would the mainland immigration want to process thousands of extra people needlessly?
because most people is closer to the 3 piers than to the bridge? duh

For the A routes... https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/...8050200267.htm
Note: The nine airport bus "A" routes are A11 (plying to and from North Point), A21 (plying to and from Hung Hom), A22 (plying to and from Lam Tin), A29 (plying to and from Tseung Kwan O), A31 (plying to and from Tsuen Wan), A33X (plying to and from Tuen Mun), A35 (plying to and from Mui Wo), A36 (plying to and from Yuen Long), and A41 (plying to and from Sha Tin).
