A merchant advertised "direct service without changing cars" on social media. When reporters inquired, the merchant said that there was no "no changing cars" service at the moment.

The merchant said, "Now that Hong Kong is suppressing this kind of car, there is a high probability that they will not take your order. They will (let go) the pigeons when the time comes." and explained that "in order to ensure normal travel, the original seven-seater Alphard (Toyota Alphard) has been cancelled, and has been replaced by a legal and compliant seven-seater taxi, which is safe and reliable." Merchants say that changing cars at the checkpoint is "risk-free", but as for not changing cars, "yes, there are risks."
