How much does one diecast model cost?

TWS4793 SG

LOL. no. 66x. Like SMB66X.

Anyway, HK's route numbering system can be very systematic to a point where the route numbers can sometimes look like SBST or SMRT registrations.

As a result, there are services such as 57M, 102R or 914X.

Yap. I like their large EDS display very easy to see even the distance is far or lighting condition is poor and more important is that they show both chinese and english character.

So. the 'M', 'R', 'X', etc. is like SBS svcs with 'M', 'A', 'B'?

So. the 'M', 'R', 'X', etc. is like SBS svcs with 'M', 'A', 'B'?

Not exactly, X is for partial express route... smethin like our Ffw but at normal prices... normali for routes to far out places like Yuen Loong... 3 digit buses beginning with 1XX is for the normal harbour crossing, 6XX for eastern harbour crossing, 9XX for western harbour crossing...
P is for PEAK period operations, S is for special despatch[normali 1-5 buses]

Not really, as explained by 'Acx1688'.

Here's a great deal of info you can learn about HK Bus Routes and their numbering system. Don't worry if the numbers and alphabets look alien to you - it takes time to learn the route numbering system.

TWS4793 SG

Besides 1xx routes, there are also 3xx routes. This route numbering also utilises the cross-harbour tunnels, but only plies during peak hours, with the exception of 307, which is a full day service.

To further add on to TIB1234T's queries about suffixes,

M is mainly for routes plying to MTR stations (HK's MTR = SG's MRT). Do note that there's also a 'K', which is for KCR plying routes (still used even after merger).
R stands for residential routes but can mean something else as well. Have limited operating hours.

Acx1688 SG

Further add on to TWS4793...

3XX routes use different harbour crossings, some use the eastern or the main harbour crossing...

Special services w/o any alphabets eg 314, 260 run on weekends, public holidays... juz like our 401,405
there are even buses that extend their operating hours if there is a concert at the HK Coliseum or other venues... one word sums it all >>> FLEXIBILITY although our local operators are inching twds tt direction

Oh. Hong Kong bus svcs look very complicating.

"Rome is not built in one day."

Similarly, you can't expect to quickly build up your knowledge in just one day. So, just read, and slowly, you'll get the hang of it.

Tiuuuuu.....Pengsan, you don't seem to get what he meant.

Oddly Singapore model shops mostly sell RHD bus models (doors on the right of the vehicle, those from the European countries. No asia bus models , e.g. SBST or SMRT diecast.
