Last departure or arrival: Which one is more sentimental for CMB fans?
I think arrival is because technically, it represents the last CMBus in service.
In that case, which route will provide the last? A Tunnel route like 970?

If your agrument were correct, then it might be worthwhile
to witness the handover of the route from CMB to CTB at both

城記2203好正!?
肥仔 (billyy@netteens.net) from imsp039.netvigator.com at Mon Aug 31 13:21, 1998 said:
昨天,2203行E21,專登從金鐘坐A11入AIRPORT,見到很多新B6(1332-1339).
出到東涌,等了一會,2203終於番啦!部車個樣幾得意.電子牌細左,加上兩邊城記LOGO,兩個倒後鏡是黃色的.
之後,走近2203,全車高背座位,和CITYFLYER的一樣,但花紋和2101相同.
開車後,感覺到幾好力.出到青嶼幹線,為什麼2203到65Km/r又轉波,原來架車個波箱係ZF5HP500,但係有用嗎?架車鎖到只得67Km/r,有鬼用!
有司機話九月一日1號全線行TRIDENT, 你信不信.
Article 2: (Request 1)
用四波行67km/h好過用三波行65km/h,好處是低轉數對引擎冇咁傷,
尤其是長時間在快速公路行駛.
P.S.貼文時留意每行長度

唔係喎！據生果日報話，中巴反口今午夜後不出車，即時由新記接
管，所以今晚2 OR 84M尾車應已是新巴營運．
【 記 者 羅 麗 明 報 道 】 新 巴 今 晚 接 管 中 巴 出 現 隱 憂 。 中 巴 原 本 承 諾 在 今 晚 會 繼 續 營 運 二 十 條 在 零 時 後 開 出 的 尾 班 車 ， 但 為 避 免 承 擔 保 險 責 任 ， 臨 時 「 反 口 」 ， 新 巴 要 在 午 夜 後 即 時 接 辦 服 務 ， 班 次 卻 會 比 平 日 疏 落 。 ( 31/8 生果日報)

今天是中巴在專營權下，於港島服務的最後一天，

我改篇左首詩,內容如下(才疏學淺,寫得唔好還請多多原

三一(註一)意不捨,驅車(註二)繞港島.
中記無限好,只是到末日.
註一:'三一'即八月三十一日.
註二:'驅車'在此指'坐中記的車'.
又好似摺啟七機場時,__航處長講左句野,現改篇如下:
'Good bye CMB and thank you!'
而在訓覺時亦唸左呢首詞:
在九月後,中記只成回億!
江山依舊,惜己改朝換代!
藍天變為橙綠,中記變為新記.
寶寶從此消失,猜躉從此上位.
看來一眾中記迷都會係今日落下淚!畢竟人非草木呀

2138 K.Y.Chung (w3d080r@school.net.hk) from blue.alumni.cuhk.edu.hk at Mon Aug 31 07:33, 1998 said:
上次就講完九記,今次就講愚巴.
以愚巴的用車同路線編排來看,愚巴就有'四愚'.
第一愚:自從九十年代初冠水收講愚巴後,愚巴就全數淘汰
英國製的小型巴士,這個並無問題,因為車齡都己高,但係
取而代之的竟然係日本底盤加土炮車身的旅遊巴!宜到最
近先出現番歐洲的Be_z同單層豪.愚巴係咪咁慳呀?
第二愚:新機場開左後,愚巴就開左條A線來往梅碼同
新機場,我見到每部車都未必有人坐.呢條線多人坐先至奇
,唔通想叫人坐渡輪去梅碼再坐他那條線呀?你話啦,港外
線碼頭同香港站真係太近,俾著我都係坐機廢,再唔係咪坐
我的兄弟(城蠅)囉,如果真係坐船去梅碼再坐那線,保守估
計要兩個鐘!你話揀邊樣?我唸就算坐地龍去東涌再坐S線都
會快過佢.唔信你可以試下.
第三愚:人地城記同九記(化名龍記)踩地盤踩到過晒界,愚
記真係愚蠢到唔識還以顏色,唔去申請開E線同S線(E線就未
必得,但係S線就實得啦掛!),不過就算開左都唔會多人坐,
因為分左假日同平日收費.而假日同平日的收費安排又係愚
巴死穴,雖然大家都知咁做係因為平日差唔多無人坐愚巴.
第四愚:愚巴唔肯改傳動系統,由始至今除左雞車外就好少
用過全自動波的車.好似愚鏢咁都係用棍波,話係因為波箱
唔受得咁大馬力.就算真係馬力較大,好似B6咁用ZF波箱唔
得咩?(話時話愚巴的Be_z同單層豪係用棍波定全自動波呀
?)
從以上'四愚'分析,可歸納出三個結論:由第一愚來看,顯
示出愚巴的財政......(唔使講掛)由第二同第三愚來看,
愚巴的地盤在可見的將來可能會被城記同龍記分左去.而
由第四愚來看,愚巴用車實在極為不當.
同上三篇一樣,無論各板友同唔同意都請積極回應啦!
(p.s.噢!中記末日到了,暑假亦接近尾聲了......)

不過,嶼巴用棍波因為大嶼山路面陡斜,用自動波(可能)會令
波箱損壞,所以要用棍波.

只行兩味的廣告車?
WingKit (tslmis@hkstar.com) from 202.77.165.7 at Mon Aug 31 12:55, 1998 said:
有時見到在九記某些路線中，有些上左廣告既車係只在早晚行兩味，
出車的時間這麼短，這樣對廣告商咪好唔公平?
另外，有些路線的服務時間較短，如Rt.606，廣告收費又會否平些?
如果廣告商而可指定用某些路線，倒不如選那些會被拉車行通宵線的
了。例如K廠的ADS過海線，夜晚常見在Rt.N216出現. 這樣廣告便可
由早到晚都出街了。

Farewell to CMB - My Personal Thoughts
Dennis Law (ctb2500@upnaway.com) from proxy.curtin.edu.au at Mon Aug 31 10:54, 1998 said:
For many bus fans, today would probably be a very sad day, as it's time for us to say goodbye to CMB, a bus company that has served Hong Kong people for 65 years. While some of you may think that the government's decision towards CMB is unfair, I would like to share some of my personal feelings on this very special day.
There's no doubt that CMB has been very innovative in the past, especially in the 1970s and the early 1980s with the introduction of the Daimler Fleetlines (LF and SF), MCW Metrobus (MB and MC) and ML1 - the first 3-axle franchised bus in Hong Kong. However, after the opening of MTR's Island Line, it seems that CMB has become less interested in bus operations, with almost no new buses being purchased between 1984 and 1988. At that time, my parents have started to feel doubted about the future of this company.
CMB's strike in 1989 has created a serious effect on the public image of the company. The effects on the commuters (especially for those living in the Southern District) were serious. But more importantly, I suppose nobody would like to have a bus company that may have a strike at any time. They simply began to lose their confidence towards CMB. In addition, while many bus fans may love the aging fleet very much (including some of you, perhaps), the public simply couldn't cope with that. This can be proved with the introduction of CTB's Network 26 (which actually consists of 28 routes at that time) in 1993. Just have a look at the passenger demand for route 5B before and after the 1993 route handover, and you can clearly see the facts.
Some people may say that the introduction of CMB's air-conditioned buses in the early 1990s is an evidence of CMB's incentive to improve its services. Well, that's true. (In fact, I was delighted to see the experimental livery scheme, which took place during the time when LA6 -15 were put into service.) However, if you take a closer look at the growth of the air-conditioned fleet in the three main franchised bus operators in Hong Kong in the past few years, we can see that CMB's rate is relatively slow when compared with the other two companies, Citybus and KMB. As air-conditioned buses have become more popular for the general public, (whether you like it or not,) people may consider CMB as a less innovative bus company. This may even worsen the public image of the company, which has already become bad enough after the 1989 strike.
In my personal point of view, the reason for CMB to lose its franchise can be quite simple - it just can't cope with the demand for a higher standard of bus service from the general public. This can be proved by some of the interviews done by the media recently. (Perhaps the exceptional cases are those interviews done to certain bus enthusiasts.) Therefore, to conclude my essay, I would like to see the remaining bus operators in Hong Kong, especially New World First Bus and Citybus, which will take over the CMB routes (minus the ones which will be cancelled) tomorrow, to learn the lesson from CMB's experience, and not to commit the same mistakes again.
P.S. Please feel free to express your opinions towards this essay if you wish no matter you agree with my points mentioned above or not. Thank you! ^_^

九記站牌設計係好難隨便加線上去, 線少Ｄ就大大個字, 線多Ｄ就要
逼到Ｄ字又長又窄. 變o左九記車站一加減線就要成個牌髹過, 成日
都見到九記站牌立立令. 即使隔幾年路線唔變, Ｄ油甩色, 都要翻髹.
所以九記係最頻換新站牌o既公司.
中記舊時Ｄ牌, 有幾多線就整到條長鐵有幾長, 加多條線都要駁牌, 攪到
線number冇晒次序. 唔同顏色就重慘.
依家Ｄ九宮格／二十宮格其實都唔多好, 一日未貼滿, 新線都係貼空位,
一樣冇次序. 以城記作風頻頻開線, 冇乜邊個站牌number係順序o既.
除非成個牌換過啦.
