The Legislative Council (LegCo) Panel on Transport visited the bus depot of The Kowloon Motor Bus Company (1933) Limited (KMB) today (June 10) to understand its daily operation and the progress of upgrading the fleet to electric buses.
Members first took a ride on the new-generation single-deck electric bus in the bus depot. They took the opportunity to learn more about the features of the bus and the charging facilities in the bus depot. The new-generation electric single deckers are equipped with the Electronic Stability Programme, with seat belts fitted on all seats. The Battery Management System and the Water-Cooling System, which extends battery life cycle and improves performance, are installed on the buses. Members then received a briefing from the Managing Director of KMB, Mr Roger Lee, on the company's plan to introduce new energy buses that can contribute to the development of green public transport in Hong Kong.
Members also toured the KMB's bus depot and visited the staff facilities and maintenance area to learn more about the daily operation of the bus depot.
A total of nine members and non-members of the Panel on Transport attended the visit.
