Hong Kong has long been a place of great interest to transport
enthusiasts. Its mixture of predominantly British-built buses
operating in a bustling oriental setting holds endless fascination
while Hong Kong Tramways’ 1920s-style tramcars evoke past times
in an ultra-modern setting. Changes to Hong Kong’s bus and tram
scene during the final twenty-one years of British rule are
recounted and illustrated in this book. Included are the decline of
the China Motor Bus Company’s operations and the emergence of
Citybus Limited as a major player. Vehicles of the Kowloon Motor
Bus Company, which claimed to be the world’s largest
privately-owned bus company operating in a single city, are
depicted at various locations including the New Territories. Bus
and light rail transit operations of the Kowloon-Canton Railway
Corporation are illustrated as are buses of Argos Bus Services, the
Motor Transport Company of Guangdong and Hong Kong, the New Lantao
Bus Company, Public Light Buses, Stagecoach (Hong Kong) Limited and
operations of the Peak Tramways Company. This book includes
pictures of some of the many hundreds of second-hand buses from
British operators, such as London Transport, Ribble and Southdown,
which were imported into Hong Kong from the 1970s onwards.
