"Having a long history, Hong Kong buses have been providing convenient and reliable services to citizens in Hong Kong since the 1920s. The popular transportation keeps pace with times and evolves in terms of appearance, carrying capacity, comfort level as well as environmental friendliness all these years. Nowadays, buses have become one of the indispensable means of transport for Hong Kong people.

In the $20 stamp sheetlet, lenticular printing effect is applied to the stamp. Three Euro V buses set against the background of Victoria Harbour in day, at twilight and at night respectively are imprinted on the stamp to symbolise Hong Kong Buses serving the public round the clock. The routes of the 1:76 Enviro 500 Euro V bus models (Citybus: Route 619, KMB: Route 47X and NWFB: Route 18P) are first ever launched in Hong Kong, making the set a precious collectible that cannot be missed.
