Route numbering system
100/911R/M1 Wong (wongjsy@sfsu.edu) from hhttnt06243.netvigator.com at Sun Oct 25 01:57, 1998 said:
As KMB just opened 296D to Tsim Sha Tsui (for me?) last Friday, I sure want to give some credits to KMB.
Nope, I'm not talking about those relatively 'brand new' buses, but the route numbering system.
For example, the prefix 9 sort of denotes routes to Tseung Kwan O and Sai Kung
Then a suffix 8 denotes to Hang Hau (with the exception of 298, which do via Hang Hau),
with suffix 6 to Sheung Tak, 3 to Po Lam, etc...
The English suffix is also meaningful. As 'A' denotes to going to Kwun Tong, (like 98A and 296A),
and 'D' denotes to routes going to Tsim Sha Tsui. (like 98D and 296D)
I mean, even routes in northwestern New Territories are pretty well defined, such as 63/69 to Tin Shui Wai and 68 to Yuen Long.
Sure hope KMB learns lessons from the past, as the route numbering system in Shatin is totally confusing.
For example, both 80M and 81K go to Sui Wo Court. (I already consider 'plain' 81 to be in the same neighbourhood in Wo Che) And then for routes in Ma On Shan, 81C goes to Yiu On while 87D goes to Kam Ying Court!
Can those in Shatin help me with the prefix/suffix definition for KMB routes in Shatin?

Article 1: (Request 1)
I think a Citywide route numbering system is needed because Citybus or even NWFB may operate Kowloon/New Territiries Routes and if there is no Citywide route numbering system, then there is a risk of confusion. For example, if Citybus operates Route 5 in Kowloon, then there is a risk of confusion because Citybus already operates 5 in HK Island.

如有錯誤請其他網友指正
The route numbering system can be seen in this way:
Route No. starting with 81 goes to Jordan Road / Tsim Sha Tsui (e.g. 81/81C/281P)
Route No. starting with 85 goes to Kowloon City / To Kwa Wan (85/85A/85B/85C)
Route No. starting with 86 goes to Cheung Sha Wan / Mei Foo (86/86A/86B/86C/886)
Route No. starting with 87 goes to Tai Kok Tsui / Mong Kok (87/87A/87B/87D/887)
Route No. statting with 89 goes to Kwun Tong (e.g. 89/89A/889)
891 had started service first before 885 appeared. (Why!?)
(Maybe because route 91 was from Clear Water Bay to Kowloon City Ferry Pier,
so the route to Kowloon City was numbered 891!?)
Why the urban routes have such strange numbers?
First, let us look at the history
1979 Sha Tin Bus List:
| 70A | 佐敦道碼頭--瀝源
|
| 71 | 佐敦道碼道--沙田墟
|
| 87 | 瀝源--大角咀
|
| 88 | 沙田墟--小瀝源
|
| 88A | 沙田墟--顯田
|
| 89 | 瀝源--觀塘
|
1983 Sha Tin Bus List:
| 70M | 穗禾苑--九龍塘地鐵站 (後來改為80M)
|
| 71 | 禾輋--佐敦道碼頭 (後來改為81)
|
| 80 | 美林--觀塘碼頭
|
| 80K | 禾輋--新翠
|
| 81K | 博康至沙田火車站(循環線)
|
| 81M | 新田圍--九龍塘地鐵站
|
| 82M | 圓洲角--九龍塘地鐵站
|
| 84K | 圓洲角--穗禾苑 (已取消)
|
| 85 | 大圍--九龍城碼頭
|
| 85A | 圓洲角--九龍城碼頭
|
| 86 | 小瀝源--美孚
|
| 86K | 小瀝源--火炭 (已取消)
|
| 87 | 瀝源--大角嘴碼頭
|
| 87A | 博康--旺角(亞皆老街)
|
| 88K | 何東樓--大圍／顯田
|
| 89 | 瀝源--觀塘(月華街)
|
| 89A | 圓洲角--觀塘(月華街) (已取消)
|
In 1979, only places on Sha Tin Market, Lek Yuen, Wo Che and Tai Wai were developed,
so the numbering system is simple.
Originally, 86 means Siu Lek Yuen and 88 means Hin Tin,
because 86 and 86K both started in Siu Lek Yuen,
and 85, 87 and 89 were commenced service.
Then, as the land reclaimed from Shing Mun River was developed,
more routes appear in area like Siu Lek Yuen and Yuen Chau Kok.
Also, as more and more housing estates were built, like Pok Hong, Sun Tin Wai...
KMB have started routes to Kowloon.
e.g. 85<-->85A
87<-->87A both goes to the same region in Kowloon
89<-->89A
The letter 'B' appeared later as it is quite normal that 'A' comes first.
As the MTR started in 1979(1980) and the KCR changed to electric,
K routes and M routes were developed.
I also do not know why the M routes are numbered (except 88K, where Hin Tin was developed in early time).
From that time, the numbers have not been defined to any region or estates (till now).
Later on, Heng On Estate and Yiu On Estate have been developed.
So KMB use 'C' to denote routes from Ma On Shan to Kowloon (e.g. 81C, 85C, 86C, 89C)
The 'D' denote routes from Newer area of Ma On Shan (e.g. 87D, 89D),
but 85C and 86C have moved so that this phenomonum is not too distinctive.
For the routes from Ma On Shan to KCR Stations and MTR Stations,
KMB used a sequential order
KCR:(85K first, 86K after, then 87K, latest 287K)
MTR:(85M first, 286M later)
Other:(70M (now 80M), 81M and 82M come in sequential order)
Note: The original 82X: Siu Lek Yuen to Kowloon Tong via Sha Tin Road
(This is like the present morning peak hour route 82S),
then 82X was deleted.
This does not apply on the Tate's Cairn Tunnel 'X' routes,
because most of the Tate's Cairn Tunnel routes go to East Kowloon.
Note: 87X is not an express route, it is only because KMB has no number to use!!
My final opinion: Shatin has two numbering systems,
One is for Urban Routes and one is for Shatin local routes.

My unspoken sayings
Citybus 10 (eg_slk@stu.ust.hk) from ustsu18-nc2.ust.hk at Sun Oct 25 05:33, 1998 said:
The fare system of KMB is very unreasonable. This can be seen from the high fares of AC routes, hoilday routes & sectional fare of long distance routes.
So I wanted to give out a saying about fare system of KMB in the phone-in TV programme of ATV on Thursday, but I couldn't say as the lines were too busy. These are my sayings:
I hope I can give out my sayings on fare systems of the bus companies in the TV programme in the future.

My Detailed Record of UITP Expo Visit
Citybus 10 (eg_slk@stu.ust.hk) from ustsu18-nc2.ust.hk at Sun Oct 25 05:32, 1998 said:
23rd October 1998, is an important day for me, because I visited the 1st UITP City Transport Exhibition in the Convention Centre New Wing on that day. It was the first time for me to go to the Convention Centre New Wing & to see so many urban transport conpanies showing their new products.
The exhibition occupied only about 20% of all exhibition place of the New Wing, but it is more than 10,000 sq. metre & there were more than 20 companies participating the expo, including 5 bus manufacturers, 3 train makers, and various equipment companies. The 2 railway companies of HK, MTRC & KCRC, also placed their booth to advertise their new plans.
There was a rumour saying that people wearing casually with T-shirt & jeans and people below age of 18 were not allowed to go to the exhibition, but fortunately, this is NOT the fact. All people were welcomed to go to the expo, so I could see some parents carrying their children to the expo. Even tourists from China also visited the expo, so the introduction video of the expo handling organization & KCRC featured Mandarin speech.
I visited the Dennis Bus section immediately after receiving a visitor badge & entering into the venue. The area featured a Dennis Dart of NWFB having round shape seats (2047), a Citybus Dennis Dart 10.6m (2700) with Duple Metsec body having seats same as Alexander bodied airport coach (with footrests) & luggage spaces with no doors, and a KMB Dennis Trident. It was the first time for me to take these buses & it is quite unlikely for me to take these buses again. A magazine was available to get know about the latest motion of Dennis Bus.
Scania Buses, was the second company I visited. It featured a single decker bus in Singapore, having a ticket seller and capacity of 90, and a double decker coach. The coach used seats simliar to those used in Cityflyer but were fitted with radio under each seat, so people can listen to the news/music during the cross border trips. It is also the first bus in HK having fully transparent roof. It was the first time for me to get into an European double decker coach.
Then I visited various equpiment manufacturers, including a compnay that makes luggage racks for Citybus, a handrail maker, a bus seat company and a manufacturer for fare collection facilities in buses.
It's the time for seeing buses again. After visiting all railway comapnies, I went to Neoplan Bus Company (Germany). 2 double decker buses, one 15m Megashuttle with 2 stairs & capacity of 170, and a Centroliner 12m bought by KMB were displayed. But it is a shame for KMB not to specify continous lighting & adjustable AC vents in its Centroliner, that are musts for today buses. 2 seats is found over the front right wheel, but legroom is very limited.
Then I rushed into a Citybus MAN 12m double decker (2500) once I reached the MAN display area as I never took it before, even when it was running on 5B between January & March 1998. The bus has high floor between the 2nd axle & the end, so seats facing front can be placed over there, rather than seats over wheels. Unfortuantely its engine was not shown & no MAN short single decker running on MTR Airport Express feeder service could be seen.
And finally I visited the most sophiscated booth of the expo - Volvo Bus. To promote its low pollution natural gas powered bus, Volvo made 4 water filled tubes with balls inside to demonstrate the amount of pollutants generated by 4 types of engines: Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 2 with catalytic converter, and natural gas. The white balls represents nitrogen oxides, yellow is carbon monoxide, orange is hydrocarbons.
Volvo also prepared its lond distance coach - B7R. It has closed handcarry luggage compartments, and I got the Volvo bus catalogs from it. These catalogs give me detailed information of all Volvo City Buses, and more importantly, the pros & cons of using natural gas or ethanol as fuel over diesel, which is very useful for my English Academic Paper on the possibility of using alternate energy sources rather than petrol.
The star of the expo - Volvo Super Olympian 3-axle low floor bus chassis, was also there. It has most of the design same as current Olympian, except it is fitted with Volvo D10A-285 engine rather than 245bhp ones, and has radiator on the right side below the staircase. The space usage of the bus is much worse than I expected, as its front wheel design does not allow seats to be placed over it, even independent suspension are used to reduce space used. Many large oil/air tanks are placed under staircase, thus reducing amount of space available. More disappointing is that it has 3rd axle as driving axle because of transverse engine, thus increasing its steering radius & makes it unsuitable for curvy roads. Even so, the chassis is suitable for HK because its floor, especially that since the 2nd axis, is low, thus allowing low bodies to be installed.
The UITP Exhibition gave me a lot of best buses to see & investigate, a lot of technical forms & catalogs for me to read, a first understanding of new buses, the first chance for getting into MAN doubledecker, and more importantly, provided me the best material for my Academic Paper.

Even tourists from China also visited the expo, so the introduction video of the expo handling organization & KCRC featured Mandarin speech.
朋友,請你看清楚我講是勸告,不是一定!
仲有,這國際性場合唔該著好點,否則影衰了巴士迷
形象,唉,請你想想一些問題才貼文,如果你穿牛仔褲,
是不是對這展覽不敬呢?
加上這展覽不是遊樂場,小朋友是不宜出現的.
這裏是香港,唔通用法文,德文演講?
> It's the time for seeing buses again. After visiting all railway comapnies, I went to Neoplan Bus Company (Germany). 2 double decker buses, one 15m Megashuttle with 2 stairs & capacity of 170, and a Centroliner 12m bought by KMB were displayed. But it is a shame for KMB not to specify continous lighting & adjustable AC vents in its Centroliner, that are musts for today buses. 2 seats is found over the front right wheel, but legroom is very limited.
真好笑,你要記得這是全部德國貨,連車身都係,一定要用
回原廠配件.

If it's still on 8X, can anyone please provide me the departure inforamtion at Siu Sai Wan and Admiralty?
If it's not on 8X, which route is it serving now?
Thankx for your information.

What if....

The other day I was looking at some old bus photos, I saw some CMB DA's with 'Air-conditioned' livery, the 'coach' version which was similar to its Metrobus Coach.
Then I had a thought, what if CMB installed those 2+2 coach high back seats with headrests on those DA's, instead of those sloppy ones? CMB would be the first franchise bus operator to offer 2+2 seats A/C double-decker bus service lor!
(I don't think G544 and N364 were good enough to provide 'constant' A/C service)
Also, CMB's public image would improve as passengers would no longer perceive those DA's being 'converted from hotdogs' too!

PATH managing director Alan Bray said drivers had agreed to call off industrial action and continue enterprise bargaining talks.

幾時先有金躉行屯門?
POnG (pongka@chevalier.net) from 202.77.3.240 at Sat Oct 24 23:03, 1998 said:
除了E33之外,屯門其他九巴線都好似沒有跡象會轉行金躉!
其實屯門有好多線都可以轉行金躉架,
例如60M,佢有易搭巴士,而現在D德仔大多數時間都只是做大冷馬後面隻'德仔',跟住一齊出.
如果有金躉,這就可以一方面做易搭巴士,另一方面可以做番隻大冷馬,一舉兩得.
其餘可以轉金躉提意:60X,59M

歡迎來到賽'馬'直擊,今日將會有十匹'馬'
大戰東廊,我們現在來看看有咩'馬'出賽先:
1號的有新究的'寶寶',快就夠快,不過年齡
稍高.
2號的都係新究的'亞記雞',慢就慢些,但係
後勁好好,被視為'大熱門'.
3號的都係新究的'猜躉',力就夠大,不過到
了轉彎時就反應稍慢.
4號就係城究的'統治者',轉彎反應慢,而且
馬力唔夠,被視為'大泠門'.
5號都係城究的'急凍豪',轉彎反應就夠好,
但係後勁就欠佳,都係'冷馬'一隻.
6號就係新究的'銀豪',速度快,而且年青,
不妨一試.
7號就係城究的'烏蠅',力就好大,不過轉彎
反應慢,而且無咩後勁,成日跑跑下就跪低,
又係'冷馬'一隻.
8號就係城究的'寒帶蘭花',力又唔大,而且
體弱多病,輸多贏少.
9號就係新究的''熱帶蘭花',力就好大,轉彎
敏捷,又係熱門'馬'.
10號就係新究的'沙仔',力就唔係好大,不過
直路都唔錯,不妨一試.
佢地而家一齊賽晒成條東廊,你話邊隻會跑出
呢?
