Hong Kong Bus Operators ... NLB
Double-deckers operate between Mui Wo and Tung Chung
for the first time in over 20 years
 
On Saturday 19th January 2019 New Lantao Bus introduced its Enviro400s on route 3M, which operates between Mui Wo Ferry Pier and Tung Chung Town Centre. The Transport Department gave the go-ahead back in April 2018 for the use of double-deckers on this route stating that they expected the bus operator to monitor the route closely, particularly in areas where the buses may collide with tree branches. The buses can accommodate up to 88 passengers, which increases capacity by 40 per cent.
