But, besides tourists, which resident living on Victoria Peak would take a bus (though there are some exceptions here and there)? The rental rates of the apartments up there is expensive, with one charging an extra managment cost of HK$7000 a month, who else besides the rich (but not the richest) live up there? This a reason why you see so few routes on Victoria Peak with not so fantastic frequency at times.

Increase frequency of bus service plying between VivoCity and Woodlands
Straits Times, The (Singapore)
ST Forum
January 10, 2008
I COMMUTE to work by Trans-Island Bus Service (Tibs) 963, which plies between VivoCity and Woodlands.
The bus is always packed, and with the newly opened Vivo City and more condominiums built along the route, the situation has become worse.
During peak hours, the bus is crowded as well, especially when it is a single carriage.
Often, passengers rush to board the bus by the exit doors as they cannot get in by the front.
In their desperation not to be left behind, many squeeze in just to stand on the steps. There have been times where passengers were hit by the closing doors as they were not visible to the driver.
During off-peak hours, the frequency is erratic. I have waited for up to 30 minutes for a bus...and this at 9pm!
I have noticed that other services by Tibs operate more frequently and carry fewer passengers. Between 9pm and 11pm, the bus plying back to Woodlands from VivoCity is also always packed.
The frequency of buses should be improved and I urge the authorities to look into the matter before a serious accident happens.

If you are at the peak bus terminal, take the minibus, GMB8, down to Pedder St[Central station], it stops opp LV landmark, cost HKD8.00, FASTER coz it takes another route down and cheaper than NWFB15.
