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. |
