Ya it shld be more or less balanced deployment between the 2 bus co.Originally posted by sbst275:I see rts like 101, 102, 301, 307 jointly operated by KMB and NWS Hldg...
Qn: Is the deployment 50:50???
Hmm, heard that those in Hong Kong Island are all gone. Some are left in New Territories and so on. Wonderful buses, I took Dennis Dragon several times up the hill at Junk Bay (Tseung Kwan O) and it can overtake aircon buses, climbing the grade at 30-40km/h.Originally posted by SGEMP:re: sbst275
I have no idea about this, but they are dying fast.

NWS Hldg is now FAC fleet... CityBus went FAC in 1998 aft the ex-SBS LAs were withdrawn from franchise svOriginally posted by jetabt767400:Hmm, heard that those in Hong Kong Island are all gone.

Not exactly, dont forget there's still one Dennis Dragon/Condor on 15C which is open top NACOriginally posted by sbst275:NWS Hldg is now FAC fleet... CityBus went FAC in 1998 aft the ex-SBS LAs were withdrawn from franchise sv
NWFB converted itself from 80% NAC fleet from 1998 to 100% AC fleet in 2002
KMB still left NAC LO3x, VO3x and Dragons
I mean conventional double deckersOriginally posted by XiaoTaro:Not exactly, dont forget there's still one Dennis Dragon/Condor on 15C which is open top NAC![]()

Every mth svs gets more a/c or converted to FAC svs
KMB updates the a/c deployment on their website

It's a tourist sv between Central and Cable Car Twr (?), em there's only AC fares of HK$3.20 (S$0.64) for abt SG's eqiv 2 fare stage (1.4km), travelling time is estd 8 minsOriginally posted by SBS9889U:Is the peak tram (15C) Partial Air Con? (As in upper deck NAC n bottom deck AC)
U can sort of consider the service PAC, it has a dart(sometimes 2) and a open top condor running on 15C. The dart is airconditioned, but the condor(DM06) is fully non air-con.Originally posted by SBS9889U:Is the peak tram (15C) Partial Air Con? (As in upper deck NAC n bottom deck AC)
U mean the new K95 Scania decker with Canteno body?Originally posted by sbst275:Keke
Saw the Scania ADD pic, kinda looks like the Centroliner a bit
Ah yes, can someone verify that I saw in some discussion that 238M is almost totally driven by female drivers as well as 273/ 273A?
External looks kinda like the CentrolinerOriginally posted by XiaoTaro:U mean the new K95 Scania decker with Canteno body?
I think that looks worse than the CDGE B9TL's
