INCREASED demand for public transport between Kowloon, Hong Kong Island and new towns in the Hong Kong New Territories is expected to prompt the Kowloon Motor Bus Company to order around 300 buses a year for at least the next three years.
A large part of the requirement will be for llm-long three-axle double-deckers.
Orders have already been placed with Dennis Specialist Vehicles, Leyland Bus and MCW, despite the fact that Hong Kong operators are no longer obliged to give prefer

Former Citybus consultancy company Passenger Transport Services becomes a wholly-owned UTH Hong Kong subsidiary.
