Hong Kong Transport - Buses | All types

 

The Hong Kong Bus Culture

 

The number of buses registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 18,000 - 22,000 vehicles and presumably new buses registered are offset by old buses being retired or sold over the border in China. (Source - The Transport Department, Hong Kong Government)

 

Bus services in Hong Kong have to be amongst the best of all major cities in the World.

 

All major Hong Kong Bus Companies invest heavily and are using mainly brand new double decker buses and all of them are testing and introducing single and double decker 100% electric buses and also hydrogen powered buses for future use.

 

☛Major Franchised Bus Companies in Hong Kong

 

Citybus | Cityflyer ✚ Kowloon Motor Bus | KMB ✚ Long Win Motor Bus | LWB ✚ New Lantao Bus | NLB ✚ HZMB ✚ Note : New World First Bus | NWFB merged with Citybus in 2022

 

☛Non - Franchised Public Bus Services using double decker and single decker buses (feeder services)

 

Mass Transit Railway | MTR ✚ DBTS - Lantau Island ✚ Park Island Transport Co. Ltd.

 

☛All Major Franchised Public Minibus Services (PLB) seating 16 or 19 people

 

Franchised and Non Franchised Public Light Bus Red Top ✚ Franchised Public Light Bus Green Top

 

☛Privately Owned Buses

 

Toyota seems to be the preferred brand for privately owned small and medium sized buses and are used for the following purposes

 

Public and Private Rehab Buses ✚ Commercial Building Buses ✚ Resident Services Buses ✚ Travel and Tour Buses ✚ Contract Hire ✚ School Buses ✚ Hotel Buses ✚ Misc. Buses for any type of charter | hire too numerous to mention including cross border buses.

 

One of the largest privately owned companies is Kwoon Chung Bus Company who also offer Non Franchised and Franchised Bus Services through it‛s subsidiary New Lantao Bus

 

☛Many Hong Kong Government Departments have a fleet of buses but for some reason also contract hire from Private Bus Companies on an “as needed” basis.

 

Any Government OWNED and operated vehicle in this section (such as Correctional Services Buses, Police Buses etc ) have a licence plate starting AM and any Chinese Military Vehicle has a licence plate starting ZG and naturally some of these vehicles have personalized licence plates which they buy at Government Auction!

"In 1811, the landlord of the “Little Cot” wanted possession. The following year, forced by the end of his tenancy, and not helped by the onset of illness, Bewick reluctantly moved his family south across the Tyne to Mirk or Back(?) Lane, Gateshead, later known as West Street.

 

The final significant wood engraving of Bewick's life was Waiting for Death, not published until 1832; it shows an old horse reduced to skin and bone, standing bleakly and unsheltered in a rocky field; the prosperity of a country house is clearly seen in the distance.

 

In November 1828, Bewick died at his home in Gateshead, with his place secure in the history of British art and his name destined to be prominent in every history of his craft. He was buried at the church of St Mary in Ovingham." Newcastle City Guides

Boxgrove Priory, in the village of Boxgrove in Sussex, was founded in about 1066 by Robert de Haye, who in 1105 bestowed the church of St. Mary of Boxgrove upon the Benedictine Abbey of Lessay. In about 1126 upon the marriage of Robert's daughter Cecily, to Roger St. John the number of monks living at Boxgrove was increased from the original three to six, and by 1187 there were a total of fifteen. The nineteenth monk was added to the priory in about 1230 by William de Kainesham, Canon of Chichester. By 1535 the priory's possessions were worth £185 19s. 8d. gross, and £145 10s. 2½d. clear.

 

The Priory church is still in use as the Church of St Mary and St Blaise. The Battle of Britain Pilot, Billy Fiske is buried in the churchyard.

" Our cat Sweep who likes to be in the window looking so cute sat there looking at us in the dining room. I wanted to join in the competition as we have just started reading the BHF heart matter magazine as Steve my husband had a heart at attach in February 09 at just 44 years old on valentine’s day (all the wrong heart)

We feel this picture does just that ” paints our hearts red” with love whenever we see it and celebrates just what we have, making us live for today as no one know what tomorrow might bring!! "

Destroyed homes below Mount Merapi, the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548, last spilling molten lava down its mountain side in October 2010. For conference goers and tourists alike, Yogykarta or Jogja as it is known locally, misses out on the finesse of Bali or the hustle and bustle of Jakarta, but for a more genuine central Indonesian experience with volcanoes and temples a plenty it’s well worth spending a few days exploring. 27/09/2012, Cangkringan, Indonesia.

The Staatsoper Unter den Linden (State Opera), also known as the Berlin State Opera (Staatsoper Berlin in German), is a listed building on Unter den Linden Boulevard in the historic center of Berlin. The opera house was built by order of Prussian king Frederick the Great from 1741 to 1743 according to plans by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff in the Palladian style. Damaged during the Allied bombing in World War II, the former Royal Prussian Opera House was rebuilt from 1951 to 1955 as part of the Forum Fridericianum square. Nicknamed Lindenoper in Berlin, it is believed to be "the world´s oldest state opera" and one of "the first theaters anywhere to be, by itself, a prominent, freestanding monumental building in a city."

Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany, both by area and by population. Its more than 3.85 million inhabitants make it the European Union's most populous city, as measured by population within city limits. Simultaneously, the city is one of the states of Germany and is the third smallest state in the country in terms of area. Berlin is surrounded by the state of Brandenburg. The urban area of Berlin has a population of 4.5 million and is therefore the most populous urban area in Germany. The Berlin-Brandenburg capital region has around 6.2 million inhabitants and is Germany's second-largest metropolitan region after the Rhine-Ruhr region.

 

Berlin was built along the banks of the Spree River, which flows into the Havel in the western borough of Spandau. The city incorporates lakes in the western and southeastern boroughs, the largest of which is Müggelsee. About one-third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks and gardens, rivers, canals, and lakes.

 

After World War II and following Berlin's occupation, the city was split into West Berlin and East Berlin, divided by the Berlin Wall. East Berlin was declared the capital of East Germany, while Bonn became the West German capital. Following German reunification in 1990, Berlin once again became the capital of all of Germany.
