The companies have considered the staff morale and changes in living costs before coming up with this year’s Wage Review Plan, hoping to show our greatest sincerity to attract and retain talents with enhanced remuneration to serve the passengers.

KMB and LWB would like to thank all our staff members for their efforts, and the representatives of Motor Transport Workers General Union KMB Branch and LWB Branch, and Kowloon Motor Bus Workers General Union and its Long Win Bus Branch for their understanding of the companies in the face of the business environment, and communicating proactively and practically in the wage review meetings. KMB and LWB will continue to invest resources in the environmentally-friendly bus fleet and safety facilities, staying united with employees and providing passengers with safe, reliable and quality services.

Bus Regeneration Programme: KMB donated retired bus to Mu Kuang English School Soon to revitalised as “chill and unwind” area to bring mental health well-being education for students

The Kowloon Motor Bus Co. (1933) Ltd. (“KMB”) donated a retired bus to Mu Kuang English School in early July this year under KMB’s owned Donation of Used and Retired Bus Programme.

Located in Kwun Tong, Mu Kuang English School has been uplifting the lives of the underprivileged through education since 1954. As the pace of modern social life continues to accelerate, students are facing increasing academic pressure. The School believes that creating a space for students to relax both mentally and physically can aid for better health development. That is when the school sees KMB’s Donation of Used and Retired Bus Programme a perfect match for students to loosen up, and to keep their emotional health stable.

The school plans to transform the upper-deck as an activity and discussion area, where tables and chairs will be provided to students; whereas the lower-deck will be designed in a cosy manner, creating a relaxing atmosphere for students to hang around after school, allowing them to “chill and unwind”. The refurbished retired bus will be positioned for mental health well-being education. The School believes that the donation of the retired bus will be beneficial to the school’ students and teachers, as well as to other campuses nearby. As the School celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, the retired bus will embark on a new journey alongside the School, infusing it with renewed vitality. The refurbishment work on the bus is anticipated to be completed by November of the next academic year.

KMB trusts that donating retired buses to schools for educational purposes allows the buses to serve the public in a new capacity, also aligning the principles of recycling and reuse. This donation not only grants a second life to the bus, but also creates a space for students to relax and unwind, fostering and supporting their personal development and imbuing the retired bus with renewed purposes.

Since late-2016, KMB has launched the Donation of Used and Retired Bus Programme, donating retired buses, both single- and double-deckers to non-profit organisations and schools. Applicants shall submit proposals to lay out details and meet the sustainability requirements. For more information, please visit “The Donation of Used and Retired Bus Programme” page under the “Corporate Social Responsibility - Caring the Community” section on the KMB website.

KMB's "Free Ride Days for Kids" Bus Depot Tour aims to inspire the learning interests among 100 children with special educational needs

The Kowloon Motor Bus Co. (1933) Ltd. (“KMB”) organized a series of “Free Ride Days for Kids" activities during the summer break for children to participate, allowing more children and families to enjoy the holiday. Friends of KMB ("FRN") specially invited 100 children with special educational needs (SEN), students from under privileged families and their family members from the Heep Hong Society, The Spastics Association of Hong Kong and the Christian Family Service Centre to visit the Kowloon Bay Bus Depot. This visit provides them an opportunity to understand the operation of electric double-decker and the bus depot, inspiring their learning interests and creating joyful summer memories with their families.

Children experience the electric double-decker along with Friends of KMB volunteers introducing bus knowledge

In order to cultivate the next generation's environmental awareness, FRN arranged a tour for children and their families to take an electric double-decker to visit the bus depot. Thy experienced the green and eco-friendly features of the bus and enjoyed the quiet and comfortable environment in the compartment. The children and their parents passed through automatic bus washing machine to observe the washing process and other depot facilities while riding on the bus. During the tour, FRN volunteers introduced the daily operations of the bus depot, including maintenance and repairs, as well as KMB's history, providing the children with a deeper understanding of public bus services.

One of the participating parents from The Spastics Association of Hong Kong, The mother of Ho Lin found the tour very meaningful, "My child has physical disabilities, and it has been hard to take him out to experience new things when he was younger. However, as he gradually grows and improves in mobility, I hope to give him more opportunities to explore the world. Therefore, when I learned about KMB's bus depot tour, I signed up for him. He loves vehicles, and visiting the bus depot not only allows him to explore knowledge about buses but also enhance his physical abilities,  learning how to interact with others. I am grateful to KMB for providing this opportunity."

Another participant, the mother of Ivan from the Spastics Association of Hong Kong, appreciated the objective of the tour, "My son attends a mainstream school and has a very busy study schedule, often requiring tutoring. As a result, he can only participate in other activities during the summer to relieve the pressure of studying. Considering that my son loves buses since he was young and often searches for bus-related knowledge online, I recommended him to join this activity. After the visit, he expressed that he has never realized how many processes are involved in the daily operations of bus service, such as washing daily and performing regular checks and maintenance. This experience has opened his eyes and he is very happy to learn about buses beyond what he finds in books and online."

The "Free Ride Days for Kids" provide free rides for ten consecutive Sundays along with themed buses touring to distribute gifts

KMB organized a series of "Free Ride Days for Kids" activities during the summer break to entertain children.

KMB Head of Operations (Tuen Mun Depot) Douglas Mak said that although Route 69 is an intra-district route at Yuen Long District, the road environment along the route is still complicated, making it also a challenging route. Mak said, “Route 69 passes through roads with higher speed limit like Tin Tsz Road and Long Tin Road. It also observes narrow streets in Yuen Long Town Centre as well as busy road sections like Castle Peak Road – Yuen Long. The reason why we select Route 69 as the first “Female Bus Captain Route” is because we hope passengers and citizens can feel that driving skills of female bus captains are as professional as others, and that they are competent to maneuver a 12.8M-long bus in streets and alleys.

Introduction of the “Female Staff Priority Rest Kiosk” for a more female-friendly working environment

Other than the “Female Bus Captain Route”, KMB has also set up the first “Female Staff Priority Rest Kiosk” at Route 69’s Tin Shui Wai Town Centre Bus Terminus. In addition to ordinary facilities, such as microwave and chairs, the new “Female Staff Priority Rest Kiosk” has equipped with tailor-made facilities for women, such as changing area, full-body mirror, for the sake of convenience of female bus captains at work.

KMB Head of Human Resources Department Simon Yeung said KMB has various female-friendly measures. The introduction of “Female Staff Priority Rest Kiosk” is to reinforce the promotion of female-friendly culture, and attract more women to join KMB. He said, “Releasing female labour into the market offers great help to deal with manpower shortages. KMB has been sparing no effort in this regard and has launched a series of female-friendly policies including provision of breastfeeding rooms at major depots for mothers. Furthermore, KMB offers various types of employment terms for bus captains, including hourly rated, half-time, full-time 5-day or 6-day, to meet the needs or different people.”

Generous benefit packages and comprehensive training

Both full-time and part-time bus captains of KMB and LWB are entitled to comprehensive benefits and perks, including year-end double pay, paid meal hours and breaks, free transportation for employees and their families (applicable to three franchised bus companies), medical and hospitalisation insurance, and children's scholarships.

The KMB X VTC "Sustainable Get Set Go" bus body design competition allows outstanding students’ designs to be featured on bus exteriors. Helping young people to apply their knowledge and explore their future

In order to achieve the sustainable development goals, it is crucial to cultivate the concept of environmental conservation among the next generation. The Kowloon Motor Bus Co. (1933) Ltd. (“KMB”) collaborated with the Vocational Training Council (VTC) to organize the "Sustainable Get Set Go" bus body design competition and invited students from VTC's Diploma of Foundation Studies (Design) to participate. Students can transform environmental awareness and sustainable development concepts into bus body design, which allows students to apply the knowledge learned in the classroom in practice and explore their personal development paths.

The competition has been successfully conducted and a commendation ceremony was held on 2 July (Tuesday) at the Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI), one of the member institutions under the VTC Group. Three outstanding finalist works are showcased on the exteriors of three double-deckers as bus body advertisements, traveling around Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. This opportunity not only allows young designers to showcase their achievements to the public but also promotes the concepts of sustainable development and green transportation.

KMB inspires the next generation through competition and invite students to contribute to the sustainable development

The "Sustainable Get Set Go" bus body design competition held in May focused on the theme of "Sustainable Development" and attracted nearly twenty graduate students from VTC's Diploma of Foundation Studies (Design) to create the bus designs with the theme of "Sustainable Development". The judging panel composed of KMB management, VTC design faculty and representatives from the Community Engagement Unit. The evaluation are based on various criteria, including thematic content, design concept, originality and visual appeal. Ultimately, three outstanding works were selected. Below is the list of award-winning students:

KMB organized a special visit for the teachers and students of the design course to the Kowloon Bay Bus Depot before the competition, which aims to help the students to gain a deeper understanding of the concept of "Sustainable Development". The visit allowed them to learn about KMB's technologies and measures for reducing emissions and conserving energy. The goal was to inspire the students' creative ideas, enabling them to transform their observations into illustration designs. These artistic designs attract the public and enhance the awareness of eco-friendly living and green transportation, guiding the community towards sustainable development.

Ms. Rachel Kwan, Operations Director of KMB expressed her pleasure at the award ceremony for collaborating with VTC for this competition, which provides students with internship opportunities to apply the knowledge they learned in class to real-world scenarios. “KMB places great importance on its connection with the community. We believe that young people are the future of society and we hope this competition will help students uphold their beliefs and find their personal development direction. Each winning designs possess of unique characteristics, clearly conveying KMB's commitment to promote sustainable development and create a livable environment through their illustrations. It is believed that by turning these artworks into bus livery for daily routes, public awareness of green transportation will undoubtedly be enhanced.”

Dr Elita Lam, Vice-Principal of HKDI & IVE (Lee Wai Lee) expressed gratitude to KMB for providing valuable opportunities to students from VTC's Diploma of Foundation Studies (Design). “This competition not only offers a rare learning opportunity that enhances students' design and knowledge of sustainability, but also creates a platform for students to engage with the industry, which is beneficial for their future development."

Outstanding designs showcased on the bus body promoting sustainable concepts

KMB arranged the bus showcasing one of the outstanding finalist works to be displayed on campus during the award ceremony, encouraging more young designers to incorporate environmental concept into their design. Lau Hiu Tong, who created the outstanding finalist work, shared her creation concept, explaining that the artwork features an endless zipper, symbolizing infinite possibilities for the future. Inside the zipper are various land and marine creatures, along with human habitats, representing a harmonious coexistence of humanity and diverse life forms in a world of green living. "As long as we cherish resources and care for the Earth, we can collectively create a sustainable future, just like my creation concept, which envisions a beautiful future coexisting with all animals and plants."

Another outstanding finalist, Cheung Yuen Wa, hopes that through the display of eco-friendly utensils on the bus body, it will encourage citizens to carry reusable water bottles and tableware in their daily lives, thereby reducing waste. Another outstanding finalist, Yip Pak Ching Page, used the backdrop of Victoria Harbour on the bus body design to symbolize the beautiful scenery of blooming flowers that emerges as the environment improvement after reducing carbon emissions.

Three double-deckers featuring the award-winning designs will be deployed primarily on the Route 290X [LOHAS Park station ⇌ Tsuen Wan West Station] and Route 290 [Hang Hau (North) (Tseung Kwan O Hospital) ⇌ Tsuen Wan West Station] in the coming two months.

Bus Regeneration Programme: KMB donated retired bus to Yew Chung International School of Hong Kong

The Kowloon Motor Bus Co. (1933) Ltd. ("KMB") donated a retired bus to the Primary Section of Yew Chung International School of Hong Kong (“YCIS Hong Kong”) in early-May this year under KMB’s very own Donation of Used and Retired Bus Programme.

Located in Kowloon Tong, the Primary Section of YCIS Hong Kong provides international and bilingual education programmes to expatriate and local children. KMB’s Donation of Used and Retired Bus Programme helps bring a learning experience full of surprises to children, which is in line with YCIS Hong Kong’s flexible learning community education model. The retired bus will be refurbished and transformed into a state-of-the-art Digital Technology Centre, allowing students to better understand subjects with the help of technology. There will also be a Flight Simulator facility on board, which help students foster a deeper understanding of aviation, navigation, and aeronautical principles.

After refurbishing into a Digital Technology Centre, there will be a Virtual Reality (“VR”) laboratory on the retired bus, where students can experiment and engage in person in immersive learning experiences using VR and Augmented Reality (“AR”) technologies. The VR laboratory provides a valuable space for students, teachers and parents to discover the wonders of new technologies and enjoy an immersive experience through access to places and worlds. The Flight Simulator facility onboard, on the other hand, will allow students of YCIS Hong Kong to pursue their passions associated with flight by providing them invaluable training opportunities. The school expects 1,000 students and teachers from the Primary Section to benefit from this. YCIS Hong Kong is also inviting their Artist-in-Residence and students to participate in the refurbishment of the bus, collaborating on the design of the bus. The refurbishment work of the bus is expected to be completed before the start of the new academic year.

Martin Scott, Education Director & Executive Principal of YCIS Hong Kong, extended their deepest gratitude and appreciation for KMB’s donation of a retired bus to YCIS Hong Kong as it brings novel experiences to the students, inspiring them to seek innovative ways of learning and explore the infinite possibilities of the world. He said KMB’s generous contribution will have a profound impact on the future of the students and their educational journey, helping to shape leaders, innovators, and visionaries of tomorrow.

KMB considers donating retired buses to school for educational means brings second life to them as they would be serving Hong Kong people in another way. It also serves the purposes of recycling and reuse. The donation has also allowed the school to show their creativity and benefit the future owners of the society. This introduces a new meaning to the retired buses.

Since late-2016, KMB has launched the Donation of Used and Retired Bus Programme, donating retired buses, both single- and double-deckers to non-profit organisations and schools. Applicants shall submit proposals to lay out details and meet the sustainability requirements. For more information, please visit “The Donation of Used and Retired Bus Programme” page under the “Corporate Social Responsibility - Caring the Community” section on the KMB website.

KMB’s new model of electric double-decker embarks journey with largest passenger capacity amongst the city’s new energy buses Operational experience affirms eBus as the preferred choice for green transportation

The Kowloon Motor Bus Co. (1933) Ltd. (“KMB”) is pleased to announce that the latest model of electric double-deckers are officially in service from today onwards, as it serves the Cross-harbour Route 112 [Cheung Sha Wan (So Uk Estate) ⇋ North Point (Pak Fuk Road)]. Whether it’s about performance or comfort, this new model can rival traditional diesel-powered buses. To date, KMB’s electric bus fleet has been deployed to 40 bus routes, travelling different districts; the whole electric bus fleet’s total mileage has reached over 2.7 million kilometres, reducing nearly 3,800 tonnes of carbon emissions. The fleet, has also carried nearly 7.4 million passenger trips, which is a testament to the public’s warm welcome.

KMB has purchased 10 Enviro500EV tri-axle electric double-deckers from the British bus manufacturer, Alexander Dennis. The batch is one of the world’s first electric bus models designed with a tri-axle configuration, the parts and the chassis were customised in accordance with the operational requirements of Hong Kong’s bus services, enabling it to handle the demanding road and operating conditions in the city. As the largest eBus in terms of passenger capacity in Hong Kong, Enviro500EV can carry up to 122 passengers. With the special placement of the batteries in order to optimise the utilisation of the interior space, batteries were installed in locations such as the underfloor, front axle wheel wells, and the rear. The bus compartment facilities, including seating, two wheelchair parking spaces on the lower deck, standing areas, emergency exits, as well as the fully low-floor and flat-floor design, are equivalent to traditional double-deck buses, providing passengers with a familiar experience without the need for readjustment.

Furthermore, the battery of Enviro500EV has a water cooling system and battery management system to enhance its efficiency and extend the battery lifespan. During deceleration, the buses can convert part of the kinetic energy into electricity, enabling energy recovery, which further enhances the battery performance. The electric buses can be charged for two hours at night, allowing them to operate up to 350 kilometres, meeting over 80% of KMB’s daily operational needs.

The first trip of Enviro500EV on Route 112 passes through the Cross-harbour Tunnel towards Hong Kong Island, advancing KMB’s electric double-deck buses from developing districts, urban areas, rural areas, long haul routes to Cross-harbour Tunnel towards Hong Kong Island. KMB has successively deployed electric double-deckers manufactured by two different bus manufacturers on Route 112, the performance data collected from these deployments will provide KMB with pivotal parameters.

KMB has been deploying electric buses for the past ten years. With the latest addition of 10 electric buses, that contributes to a grand total of 82 electric buses to the eBus fleet, including 52 electric double-deck buses purchased from two bus manufacturers. Since last year, these 52 electric double-deckers have been putting into service on 40 routes, covering long haul routes like Tuen Mun Road, busy urban corridors, highways and hilly terrains, all of which have yielded satisfactory performance. The successful deployments of the electric double-deckers have provided KMB with valuable collective experience, exemplifying that electric buses are proven to be the preferred choice as new energy buses.

“The latest deployments of KMB’s electric double-deck buses have been mainly on busy urban corridors and tunnel routes, including 3 cross-harbour tunnels,” expressed Kelvin Yeung, Deputy Operations Director (West Division), “KMB will continue to deploy eBuses to different areas, allowing passengers to experience their merits, as well as collect different statistics on road and traffic conditions to improve the overall eBus service performance.”

The total mileage for KMB’s electric bus fleet has reached over 2.7 million kilometres, reducing nearly 3,800 tonnes of carbon emissions, which is equivalent to the carbon emissions of the annual electricity consumption of over 3,000 three-person households. Since 2022, KMB’s new generation of electric bus fleet has already carried close to 7.4 million passenger trips, nearing the total population of Hong Kong. When operating on roads, the electric buses do not emit any exhausts or pollutants, truly achieving “zero emissions”. Thus, bringing a cleaner roadside environment and fresher air quality to Hong Kong.

Despite the electric buses still costing over 50% more than traditional buses, KMB is committed to expanding its electric bus fleet. This expansion, however, entails a significant additional financial burden. As such, sufficient government subsidies are indispensable to this endeavour.

Nonetheless, KMB is eager to work closely with the government in terms of operational arrangements, supporting facilities and maintenance, in order to further advance green transportation and contribute to Hong Kong's efforts towards carbon neutrality.
