“286M” / 人流之形 Human Logistics Forms / SML.20130204.IPH5.10033.C23

Buses in Hong Kong run on time, have routes which make sense, are air-conditioned, some with wifi on board, and are tidy in clean. Compare this to the MTA bus system in New York, which is never on time, with routes which make no sense, and filled with filth, and you know why I don’t miss New York.

 

Pictured is the bus terminal in Ma On Shan for 286M, a bus which goes to the Diamond Hill MTR station. The suffix M means that the bus stops at MTR (Hong Kong metro) stations. Similarly, if you see a suffix K to the bus route, you know that it stops at a KCR (Hong Kong train) station. KCR and MTR used to be two companies but after the merger they are the same—but you will see that the stations are slightly different as well as the trains which they use. For visitors to Hong Kong all you need to know is that buses which have a K or M will connect to the metro network at one of its stops, usually at the terminal, thus making travel planning easy.
