Declaration on 998 & 692


291+291A+690+691+692 (eg_slk@stu.ust.hk) from ustsu18-nc2.ust.hk at Thu Dec 10 12:57, 1998 said:


There are some boardmates said my suggestion of 692 is totally crazy, worse than BusBus' 998 (HKUST - Kennedy Town Inceniator).





But this is NOT TRUE because they are totally different!





Citybus+NWFB 692 is develpoed as an express route from most of Tseung Kwan O to Central via Island East Corridor, Gloucester Road, etc. So it has short ftravelling time as follows:





Tiu King Ling (minutes)


5 Hang Hau


10 5 Metro City


23 18 13 Lam Tin


35 30 25 12 Tin Hau


45 40 35 22 10 Central


60 55 50 37 25 15 Kennedy Town (these theoretical times may be longer than actual!)





It has the low fares shown in the suggestion, and of course full AC.





This route not only serve fast service from Tseung Kwan O to Central because the congestion zones of King's Road & Hennseey Road are avioded, but also serves a fast link from Tin Hau to Kennedy Town, so it can replace Citybus 5 & NWFB 18.





So this route is an excellent route.








BusBus' 'Citybus' 998, however, is a very slow route between HKUST & Kennedy Town via the following route:





HKUST - ClearwaterBay Road - Choi Hung Road - Kwun Tong Road - To Kwa Wan Road - Chatham Road - Jordan Road - route of 904 after WHC.





Worse, the route has no stops between HKUST & Sai Ying Poon. So it is totally unreasonable for it to go via such long & circuitous road, making the trip at least 2 hours long! >_<





The route is full hotdog service (the buses are not from Citybus, but are just retired ex-NWFB Fleetlines with fake Citybus logo), thus the trip is even slower (they may have speed of less than 1km/h on going uphill!)





The fare, however, is totally man-eating $15 ($20 for Citybus fans!). This makes the route no passegners at all!





So the 998 is totally a crazy route!





Thus please do not rate the route suggestions just depending on his identity (such as Citybus or NWFB fans or others), but should see the individual cases objectively.





If anybody rates the route just depending on the people himself, then this is the same as rating all films by a company you dislike Cateogory III, no matter how healthy the film they are, and Cateogory I to all films by another company you like, no matter how unhealthy they are. This is totally unreasonable.






291+291A+690+691+692


Article 2: (Request 1)

There is a new purpose of NWFB/Citybus Rt 692: A link between HKUST & HK Island!





There are some deaprtures in the morning from Kennedy Town to HKUST via:


Des Voeux Road West, Connaught Road Central, Admiralty, Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay, Victoria Park, Island East Corridor, EHC, Lam Tin (no stop until Hang Hau), Tseung Kwan O Tunnel, Hang Hau, HKUST.





The departures are:


0730 (to HKUST at 0830), 0740 (0840), 0750 (0850), 0810 (0910), 0830 (0930), 0840 (0940), 0850 (0950) (Mon-Fri only, not in PH)





And there are some departures in the afternoon from HKUST to Kennedy Town via:


Hang Hau, (no stop until Lam Tin) Tseung Kwan O Tunnel, Lam Tin, EHC, Island East Corridor, Tin Hau, Causeway Bay North, Gloucester Road, Connaught Road Central, Des Voeux Road West, Kennedy Town.





The departures are:


1700 (to Kennedy Town at 1800), 1710 (1810), 1730 (1830), 1750 (1850), 1800 (1900), 1810 (1910), 1830 (1930) (Mon - Fri only, not in PH)





The fare is $14.0 between HK Island & Hang Hau, $15 to HKUST, other fares same as existing 692.





This route is much faster & cheaper than BusBus' 998 ($20 for Citybus fans, $15 for others) that uses only hotdogs & via a lot of roads & at least 2 hours long, so it would be popular.





Also, this would not cause the wastage of buses as the buses running on the service are just those used on 692 in peak times (so Volvo Super Olympian 12m or Trident).





291+291A+690+691+692


Article 2: (Request 2)

I have to delcare that the special departure of 692 between HKUST & Kennedy Town is NOT selfish.





This is because the route goes from Kennedy Town, stops Sai Ying Poon, Sheung Wan, Central, Admiralty, Wahchai North, Causeway Bay, Tin Hau, Lam Tin, Hang Hau, making the route has many passegners not only from the area mentioned, but also from Mid-Levels, Happy Valley, Jardine Lookouts, Aberdeen.





This configuration, however, would not cause long travelling time (about 1 hour) because it has a logical route:





Kennedy Town - Sai Ying Poon - (Connaught Road Central) - Central - (Queensway in Eastbound direction, but Harcourt Road in Westbound) - WanChai - (Gloucester Road) - Causeway Bay - Tin Hau - Island East Corridor - EHC - Lam Tin - express to Hang Hau - HKUST.





Not only HKUST studetns (there are about 20% of all HKUST students living in HK Island & 10% in Lam Tin & Tseung Kwan O, thus making there are about 600 potential passegners, I guess), but also TVB staffs & visitors to & from HKUST would take the route. So the route is profitable & practical.





BusBus' 998, however, is not practical & very selfish because the route only have stops in Sai Ying Poon & Kennedy Town, but goes via WHC, Jordan Road, Chatham Road, Choi Hung Road, making the route extremely long, and hence no passgeners.

There is no 'high floor fans' in the world! They are only orindary bus fans


Don't u know KMB has withdrawn all its Guy Victory? KMB is a progressive company at all!


Because KMB has too many 'hotdog', you should give more time to KMB to do so.


That's because CTB has only 100 'hotdog', they can be withdrawn quickly.


But for KMB, withdrawal needs more time! So please be patient.

I guess you weren't in Hong Kong during the summer of 96/97, when the total number of days without rain didn't total more than a month!





> Don't u know KMB has withdrawn all its Guy Victory? KMB is a progressive company at all!





Although it seems to me NWFB might withdraw its front-engined buses before KMB.





True, KMB is a progressive company, though is it progressing fast enough to keep up the pace?





However, it pretty much cared only on (new) routes in newly developed areas like Tin Shui Wai and Sheung Tak and allocate many 3AD's to serve them, instead of ordered them as ADS to replace those front-engined buses.





> Because KMB has too many 'hotdog', you should give more time to KMB to do so.





It sure has more resources to purchase more buses, or even order bus chassis manufacturers to 'customize' vehicles for KMB.





> But for KMB, withdrawal needs more time! So please be patient.





Hopefully I'll still be alive...

Article 3: (Request 8)

1. i had said to you before:


'mung mo' bus is not equal to 'non-franchise bus service'


'mung mo' bus is a illegal bus service which hadn't authorise


from Transport Department. such as: there are some bus operate


from Kam Tin to Tuen Mun Pier which no TD permission authorised.





2. for KMB, they can buy bus everywhere, but, do you think


the market of bus service is expanding? i don't think so.


Dong Chieh Hua just know how to make more money with commercial


Company, especially, Property holdings, they want there new


developing estates has direct transport aids to urban area.


so, they want dong permit to have more railway. so, the %


taken for bus in all transport aids should be decrease, if


u r the manager of KMB, would you willing to invest a giant


amount of capital which may or may not have acceptable returns?





also, the decrease on speed on purchasing vehicle leads decline


on retiring old vehicle, i don't think some N will retain


until 2007, but i think it may retain until 2000.





for other three company, NLB have most of them high-floor bus,


some of this are non-ac; NWFB has agreement with the government


that they will withdrawn all bus of 18 years, i.e. all fleetline,


metrobus(except some ML), lv2 and jubliant, for others, they


can retain. i don't think they should withdraw some newly


non a/c bus such as 'tiger-head(LM)'; 'open dragon(DM)'.


do you think so?





for the devilery stragery of a/c bus of kmb, it is a problem


that kmb put a/c bus only in money earned route or long route.


i think it is the only point i agree with u.





Jess, a hotdog fans during winter; a a/c bus fans during summer;


like most people in hong kong.

> I think if not the day with heavy rainstorm (few days per year), passengers can close the windows.





But what happens if there are not many passegners in the bus? And if most of the day is sunny, so the windows are opened, but there is a sudden downpour? The seats become wet because none closes the windows. That's what I experienced on a trip of Citybus 48 in 2 years ago, when there were still hotdogs on 48.





Such case could also be found on CMB 537, with hotdogs running on it in a rainy day. The seats became wet & dark! Everyone complained to the TD & CMB aout this!





> There is no 'high floor fans' in the world! They are only orindary bus fans





No high floor fans? See my article under the thread! My mother is a high floor fan!





> Don't u know KMB has withdrawn all its Guy Victory? KMB is a progressive company at all!





But I think the Ducks cannot be withdrawn by 2007!





Also, KMB buys a lot of high floor AC buses, like AM, Dart, Dragon, even there are lower floor buses, like Olympian, B6.

Article 3: (Request 10)

> Kwan (sfac3a09@netvigator.com) said:


> 嘩!你咁都知香港人唔鍾意坐熱狗?





They don't like hotdogs clearly, because hotdog means poor air in tunnel, wet cabin in rainy days, poor smell then the hotdogs are going through farms (you should know this when taking hotdog 91, 91M or 92) ans when running after a truck (especially rubbish collection truck). So most people do not like hotdogs.





> 當年未有冷馬時他們怎樣坐?





They have to stop breathing each time when going through tunnel and when there is a truck before a hotdog. This is very unpleasant.





> 另外,你這些叫別人不要保留熱狗的態度足以使人知道你對別人不尊重.


>


Not respecting others? I am respecting others as the bus compnaies (except KMB) are withdrawing hotdogs by 2000, while KMB would die by 2007, making there arte no hotdogs in HK. The setting up of bus companies by them are creating special choice for them!


>


> 你的理論真神奇!!這世上有高地台迷?





In fact, there are high floor fans. My mother is one of them. She says it is more comfortable to take high floor buses. But in fact this is untrue. The high floor buses have leaf spring suspension, so uncomfortable, but the low floor buses have air suspension (even front independent suspension, like Volvo B6BLE, Super Olympian, B7L, B10L!), so much mre comfortable.

> If they take SLF bus, how can they see beautiful view?





If most non-bus fans passengers think like you do, MTR may


go out of business as everybody wants to enjoy the view outside!





I do think the view outside is pretty good in Hong Kong, as


of course I'm a bus fan and things are different everyday on


the streets! (especially buses on 110 by NWFB) However, I


probably prefer to sit on the upper deck, as I sure can see


more than a single deck super high floor bus!

Article 3: (Request 12)

> Do you know why the floor of the 50-seat bus is so high? Just because people want to see the scene from the bus! If they take SLF bus, how can they see beautiful view?





But how can the elderly & the small children board on the buses? The floor is too high. So low floor buses is needed. And for the view problem this can be easily solved by using buses with low floor till the 2nd axle, but high floor after the 2nd axle, like Volvo B6BLE, B10BLE, so elderly can take lower seats for easier access, while others can tahe the higher seats for better view.

New Toyota Coaster


100/911R/M1 Wong (wongjsy@sfsu.edu) from olkc1b108.netvigator.com at Thu Dec 10 20:51, 1998 said:


Today I saw a new Toyota Coaster with HX license.





(I think due to the economic downturn, there haven't been


too many new minibuses, either red or green ones.)





What are the differences of this one than the 'older' ones?





1)The headlamps are different. The new one incorporate those


already found on those 'deluxe' versions with 20 or 24 seats.





2)The row over the rear wheel arches are being placed higher


than those of the older ones. This arrangement/configuration


finally solves the problem of the window seat passengers over


the wheel arches, as these seats are some of the most uncomfortable


around. Though the seats are no longer totally 'flat' from


the driver's point of view. (and the view of the passengers


who sit in the last row might be blocked)





Has anyone seen similar Coaster as Red Van or GMB? Where?


(or which route?)

Actually, the 'cute' MAN used by MTR/Kwoon Chung for AEL


free shuttle is pretty good replacement of Toyota's domination


in the marketplace.





Surely the 'Q' MAN doesn't have the same problem for seats


over the wheels. Meanwhile, if they're adopted by minibus


companies, even disables may get on board! (and elderly


people would have a much better time!)





Of course, TD also needs to 'deregulate' the restrictions


placed on current minibuses.

但政府係大股東, 幫地鐵也不足為奇(而家東涌線比原定低67%又真係勁左d)

> 2. 第二跑道就開, 到時機場可應付多一倍航機! 換言之, 即入境旅客又多了! 為何運豬局不等這條跑道啟用再作打算!

呢點絕對同意, 如S51繞入航膳區已可代S62,63;S64亦可代S51機場部份,61(除碼頭);


S54可代S53,咁就可以cut四條線.

事實運輸署曾提過數條A/E線太重覆, 令其中一線唔夠客, 故要Cut都

It is not abuse, but it is the price. If you have to travel to the

It is a good idea, but will KMB do so? It is exactly better to have Darts on 203/B1.


(Maybe KMB can think of purchasing 9m Darts or deploy AA2 to the route).

I think that all routes going in same direction should have same fare, so people can enjoy equality. That's why NWFB 970 has its fare to the South same as its 'domestic' rotues, while Citybus 973 has its fare same as 73 after QMH.

You name AM on 203/208 business class??? 98D with AV First class???


And Cityflyers are only reserved for the oil-billionaires from Arabia!!!


Is there a choice of the bus company??? Regretfully not.

An OL who can't read!

Recently, I was appointed to work in Tsim Sha Tsui East, and


I just can't resist to take a bus to work!





Anyway, this morning when I was waiting for 26/35A/41A/98D/203/208


(and even unsuccesfully for ATR66, even though I saw it at


the same time at the same place for the past two days) at


Prudential Centre, an OL came by and was looking at the bus


information board. (or BBQ pork plate)





As a responsible bus fan, I immediately offered my assistant.


Though she said something which meant 'none of your business'.





Fine!





A relatively 'new' AV on 259B came by, which read 'Tsim Sha


Tsui Star Ferry', she didn't board on the bus.





However, an 'AL' on 9 followed that bus and she boarded on it!


(hence, don't try to tell me she wanted to take a hotdog!)





I wonder if there is any place which is served by 9 and not


by 259B south of Prudential Centre? Correct me if I'm wrong,


I think they share the exact same busstops.





The 259B was pretty much empty by the time it arrived, while


the AL on 9 was relatively crowded.





Was she an AL bus fan? I doubt so!

Such Hybrid buses are already running in Japan for a few years la.


Mitsubishi made it, i forgot whether Nissan have it too.





Their high floor maybe unsuitable for Hong Kong.





The principle is that when the bus is idle or breaking, the battery is


charged by the engine, or the inertia of the bus by a dynamo.


And the battery powers the bus for most of the time. The engine drives the


bus directly when accelerating only.





Therefore, the inertia is converted to electrical energy, not heat,


therefore saving fuel and reduce the workload on the brakes.


Of course the bus is very quiet and have low emission la.





You may try to find out more about it at the Mitsubishi official homepage.

About buses allocation


291/291A Siu (eg_slk@stu.ust.hk) from max14-8.hk.super.net at Fri Dec 11 14:53, 1998 said:


It is the best time to discuss the allocation of buses as there are far too may inappopriate bus allocation cases, like 1xx on Citybus 606, 11m buses on KMB 12 & 87 with very few passegners, ADS on KMB 917, wasting the ADS, forcing 5C & 8 uses Ducks, etc.





I would discuss the bus allocation of Citybus first, then followed by KMB, NWFB & CMB.





Citybus' bus allocation is the better one, like:





3B uses single decker in non-peak time but 10.4m buses in peak time, well suit the demand.


5B uses 3xx that has highset seating capacity among all AC buses, even they are older.


6 series uses 10.4m AC buses that have high capacity & high quality cabin.


7 uses 9xx during peak times but 10.4m at other times, thus can carry most passengers at peak time & no waste.


8x, 780 uses Dragon & 6xx Olympian with better hill climbing ability than 4xx & 5xx Olympians.


10 uses 5xx & 6xx that are newer, so greatly improving the image of Citybus Route 10.


11 & 511 uses MAN single deckers in peak time, but 13xx Volvo B6LE during other times.


12 series uses midibuses with high frequency, thus providing high level of service.


25A & 25C uses powerful MAN single decker with higher capacity than midibuses.


529 uses single decker buses at most of the time, but uses 10xx 11m double decker to carry people to Breamer Hill fastly.


37 series use 11m buses taht can carry many passengers while turns fastly on tight Pokfulam Road.


40 series use 11m buses so can carry many passengers fastly.


47A uses the most comfortable Jit Luen B6, making the level of service very high, and people are willing to pay more for such good trip.


260 uses the luxurious & comfortable Volvo buses, making it worth the money.


72 uses 12m buses with high frequency to attract passegners from maxicabs & it has high amount of passengers.


98 uses 10.4m buses, providing large capacity needed for such route, and safety in Aberdeen.


619 & 690 uses latest 6xx with faster speed & high fuel economy.





But there are of course some routes with bad buses allocation:





10X is a route with extrememly few passegners but still uses 12m buses, at frequency of 1 hour.


29R uses large buses (including MAN ingle decker & double deckers) & carries almost none passegners.


48 & 85 uses MAN single deckers & makes many passengers packed in it.


90C uses 12m buses but with very few passegners.


95C uses midibuses but it has a lot of passegners.





There are more articles on bus allocation of other bus companies.





291/291A Siu


Article 53: (Request 1)

KMB has one of the worst bus allocation in HK now, just slightly better than CMB. These are examples:


KMB 917 with very few passegners & still uses ADS which is in short, making not enough ADS running on 91 & 91M (badly needed) & forces 5C & 8 to use Ducks.


11m buses are used in 12 & 87, with almost no passengers, but not on 91M (the route can accept 11m bus) which mas much larger demand, and forces the tall HKUST students to bend down their body in Ducks along the trip.


91M uses BL, with extremely slow speed of 2km/h running from HKUST to Pik Uk, but not 11m buses which is faster & of higher capacity.


296 uses 11m or even 12m bus with very few passegners.


296A, however, never uses 12m buses, with a lot of passegner waiting for it at all times.


276P uses Dennis Dragon 12m that is fuel comsuming & slow, even the route does not go through any hills.


B1 uses high floor, narrow corridor AM, making seating very inconvenient.





Please continue to read my articles on bus allocation (NWFB & CMB).





291/291A Siu


Article 53: (Request 2)

The bus allocation of NWFB is not good on some routes, but quite good at others. The worse ones are:





2 uses Fleetlines that are small & slow, making it cannot compete with Citybus.


8P uses 12m buses even in non-peak time and few passegners take the route during that time.


18 uses 12m buses to run, even the route has very few passengers.


19 & 27 use Darts, but not 11m buses to run, even there are many passegners and the road permits.


262 uses 11m buses, even the route has very few passegners.


91 & 94 use Fleetline which is very slow on running uphill, but not 11m buses with larger capacity & faster.


94X, however, uses the best 11m buses (LM) even the route has extremely low patronage & NWFB is planning to close it.


113, 914 use large buses, sometimes 12m long, even they have very few passegners.





Even so, there are some routes with good buses allocation:


2A & 8 are routes with high passenger amount, so 12m buses are used, including Trident.


13 uses Darts to run, thus suits the high income passgners there.


590 uses a lot of Trident that have higher seating capacity.





And there is my last epsiode: CMB!





291/291A Siu


Article 53: (Request 3)

CMB bus allocation is the worst in HK, as seen from follows:





2 uses very large Metrobus 11m, even the route has very few passegners, also for 18, while CMB 10 uses the oldest Fleetline, small & slow, making 10 the worst route in HK.





262 uses 11m buses and the route has very few passengers.





780 uses Fleetline in peak times, making the bus can only go up Chai Wan Road at 1-2km/h!


641, 619 uses full Fleetline, with very low seating capacity.


606 uses Fleetline, with very low speed going up Chai Wan Road (never over 5km/h even the bus is empty!)


91 & 43 uses Fleetline, very slow.


And please continue to say the worst bus allocation of CMB.

巴士公司只係負責營運巴士服務, 但路線/班次等都是由政府操縱(


非決定, 因擬定權是落在巴士公司上, 不過路面上的其他限制, 配合


政府發展步伐等都是政府決定. 原則上政府有操控任何車輛在街上行


走的權利, 巴十亦不例外.


結論:巴士路線是巴士公司擁有, 但終決權在運輸局手上.

則由政府決定.
