The bus
- Kowloon
Motor Bus introduced 210 AEC Regent Mk V buses into
its fleet
between 1963
and 1966 to cater for increasing demand due to the rapid
growth in
population at that time. The bus was unprecedented at that
time in terms of body length (34 feet) and passenger capacity
(117 passengers). To cope with 'one-man-operation' scheme in the mid
1970s , the exit door and staircase of the AEC Regent V buses were
removed from the rear and rebuilt in the middle of the
bus. These
buses was deployed on urban and Shatin district route
nos. 6,
6A, 6C, 13 and 80K until their retirement in 1987.
