i dun usally ask for timing because i prefer to camp and hunt
and get the results myself rather than rely and cheat using
timings. its juz the way I bus spot.
=D
I am not talking about timing of a certain bus, but e.g.
10:00-12:00 Boon Lay then I should allow 1 hour if my next
destination is Tai Seng, plus the best mode of transportation (bus,
train or even taxi).
oooh yes limits of your waits and
time taken to travel between points.
------
Un Long was the old spelling and Yuen Long is the newer spelling
of the district.
I see.

Indeed, intrrestingly on thr tram thing, most bus guides dun
even show tram baording stations. My HK Atalas shows it as well..
woopee. NB: the 2006 edition i have does not show tram
stations..chui.
I cannot even remember those stations although I know where the
track goes.
well, its does help if u know
where the tram stop is....I know cuz i had a fun time looking for
one few years back...u know walking alg the track...lol

yes confusing as it is, most bus service suffix dun even follow
the set rules. due to lots of rotue amendment and "strengthening of
bus services". Dun assume a P service is just a few hours only or
an S service is just mornin gpeak premium. I think cna list one of
them KMB 275P for example. or is it the KMb 275S. it ops
to the Hong Kong NIE and is similair to our 1789 vs 179A idea.
When somebody visited the territory several months ago, I told
him to regard 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E and 2F on Kowloon side as
7 separate routes and not to think about the relationship, although
there may be some, but it is not necessarily be. Otherwise, you
will get crazy.
yeah well not to mention
about the KMB 6 series..hahaha 6A 6C 6F the lot...They dun
generally serve the same area but only a few of them are based on
the other...
Fares:
With STEP fares,
The correct name we use here should be "sectional" fare.
for a general guide one shd always try to take the end part of a
bus route or the full, route.
Apply to most routes, but not all. Some have dual way sectional
fares. (ah hmm din know
that..
never take a CHS for part of the route, always cross the harbor
with it.
But you may take after crossing harbour. These "international"
routes are sometimes cheaper than the "domestic" route in some
cases.
---------
Airport svcs with beginnning with "A" are using Stonecutters
bridge beginning this week...
It just applies to some citybus A routes. Long Win ones do not
use.
It happened for months.
From Kowloon, HK island, you will be able to see the KMB
Jubilants training buses [3 buses in white livery] near the Hong
Kong United Dockyard at Cheung Tsing Highway[u have to look
down] before the bus turns to Tsing Ma Highway.
I doubt so. No Jubilant training bus should be kept in Tsing Yi
Depot.
Also before the bus turns to Tsing Ma Highway, you can have a
glimpse of a totally red[prob from rust] KMB Jubilant with words
marked "Training"
Victory 2 instead.
