The bus
- Dennis Trident No 1131 entered service in January 1999. In January 2002
it received this special livery.
To make the message 'NWFB New Year Feast
of Harvest' more eye-catching, NWFB invited Ah Chung, a renowned local
wash painting artist, to design a series of artistic and joyful decorative
items, including bus livery, bus stop, poster and ¡¥Fai Chun¡¦.
The orange bus livery was been painted with various cartoon figures in
'fortune-filling' faces, who gather to enjoy the tasty village feast, coupling
with the key messages like 'To embrace a fruitful new Year of the Horse
with good fortune', 'Everyone enjoys a fun-filling and fortune-filling
fruitful new year'. Also, 300 NWFB bus stops were dressed in cute decorative
items to deliver NWFB new year greetings to all passengers. |
