Citybus BYD K9R 1583 (TW1559) has received a new livery similar to that now carried by the company's new double-deck electric bus, which was photographed earlier today at Siu Sai Wan Estate.
During my holiday Kowloon Motor Bus registered the remainder of its sixteen electric BYD B12A single-deckers. Photographed on the 21st May, two days after first registration, is BEB6 (ZX9932), spotted on route 1A heading to Star Ferry. The last of the batch, BEB16, was registered on 25th May.
Continuing the new bus theme, Kowloon Motor Bus has also registered no less than fifty-four 12.8 metre ADL 'facelift' Enviro500s this month. Pictured above is E6X174 (XZ4652) which was first registered on 10th May.
The Tiny page has been revised slightly, with images of the various 1/76 and 1/43 models being removed, making its layout consistent with the other model manufacturer pages. 28th May 2022 | |||||||||||
