Kowloon Motor Bus Scania K230UB 12m (ASC5)
Welcome onboard a brand new Scania K230UB operated by Kowloon Motor Bus in Hong Kong, China. This video is recorded onboard bus ASC5 on rt.72A - in this video, you will be brought to the heart of Tai Wai district, starting from the train station and cruises through the residential areas of the neighborhood. If you are in the mood of a high-speed bus-ride, be sure to check out the video recorded onboard KMB bus ASB14, which is identical with the same make and model, with the only difference in the phsyical length of the vehicle!
Hong Kong Kowloon Motor Bus KMB Dennis Dragon S3N227 Rt.72
The bus was on KMB's Route #72 from Tai Po to Sha Tin in the New Territories. It took a hilly road, Tai Po Road, rather than the To Lo Harbour Expressway. The Chinese University was also along the way. The bus was powered by Cummins LT10 and Voith D863 transmission.

My name is Dennis. In 2009, I opened this channel to record or document this city. I know something is being changed in next decade(s), or I felt the change have began since 2003, no later in 2046. I want to, at least, save some kind of city life in video form instead of taken photo or written in words. I strongly believe that motion picture and sound recording are much better way to preserve and present in the future when young generation want to get know of Hong Kong.
In May of 2018, I wrote the following statement in below:
Hi everyone, thank you for supporting me in fulfilling my childhood dream of making videos.
My parents had always taken a tolerant attitude toward my “capricious”: whether my work is feasible and sustainable... and they never complained about it.
As my father just passed away in May, I am left with no choice but to give up my video making venture.
In Hong Kong where the cost of living is sky high, youtube video making is simply not sustainable by google adsense alone. The revenue produced is way too insufficient for affording a domestic helper, and I must look after my mom all by myself - this is why I must stay very close to her at all times.
Unless my revenue is closed to market rate, or my income can cover a domestic helper, otherwise I can hardly justify any video-related works.
Therefore, from now on everything video will be postponed in terms of year(s).
Thank you, and hope to see you all again in the future.
Because I am the only son of my mother in Hong Kong, and I have to take care of her at home. I almost give up this channel because of high consumption of time and living cost. But I found some extra time.
I live in Fanling, north part of New Territory, so it will include my showtime of traveling back and forth. Because of home care to my old mother, there will be no time other than 9:00 to 16:00 because my mother is staying at the senior daycare center, so before and after that, I will NOT able to do filming.
I understand most of you are looking for high quality of video, e.g. 4K or 8K. But hardware is so important at this post-production, that is, the higher quality video, the higher powerful computer to render video. Financial is my biggest issue, I can't afford to buy an expensive hardware right now. Even previous old 2K recorded video, it wasn't easy at all, one hour video = 1.5 hours of rendering time, plus uploading time. How about 1 hour 4K ? = 15 hour up......under my old computer. (please check youtube.com/user/hongkongmap/about )
I will continue to run this channel as long as the time is fit-on-me or I don't see any kind of video job could fit me.
I hope this is clear to everyone.

(20/5/2018) China Motor Bus LM10 Leyland Olympian 3-axle 11m K481EUX (FW3858) - Fenland BusFest 2018
LM10 made its first public appearance since 2014 at the Fenland BusFest 2018 event, and ran on two round trips on route 341 between Whittlesey and Ramsey.
First registered at the end of 1993, LM10 is one of the last Leyland buses built for Hong Kong, and indeed the very last one for China Motor Bus. It is also the last non air-con bus purchased by CMB. It is interesting to note that the 10 LM-class Olympians are almost identical to Kowloon Motor Bus's S3BL421-470 (nicknamed Tiger Leyland), in terms of specifications of both bodywork and chassis, probably because CMB's order was too insignificant.
The LM-class Olympians have 245-horsepower Cummins LT10 engine and ZF Ecomat 4HP500 gearbox, identical to their A/C cousins (LA-class). Therefore, without the A/C unit dragging behind, they were renowned for their speed and power, much like KMB's Tiger Leylands on the other side of the harbour.
The successor of CMB's bus network, New World First Bus, which inherited 710 buses (199 of them are A/C buses) from CMB since 1/9/1998, aimed at providing full air-con service at soon as possible. While withdrawing 2-axle buses at a fast pace, NWFB also found some buyers for most of its 3-axle non-A/C buses. The relatively new LM-class Olympians were withdrawn in early 2000 and modified to UK-spec, with single wide front door, 2+2 seating and small sliding windows. They were sold to First Bus in UK, and served in Greater Manchester, Glasgow and finally Great Yarmouth. LM10 was re-numbered as 681, 3001 and eventually 30097. The 10 Olympians were withdrawn between 2009 to 2010, and all except LM10 were scrapped. Since 2011, LM10 has been preserved by its current owner Chris Martin, and was repainted to full CMB livery in 2012. It would however cost too much to rebuild it to the original 2-door layout.
Thank you for watching!

The Kowloon Motor Bus Company (1933) Limited (KMB; Chinese: 九龍巴士(一九三三)有限公司), is a bus company operating franchised services in Hong Kong, and OS the largest bus company in Hong Kong by fleet size and number of bus routes. It is a subsidiary of Transport International Holdings.
MB was founded on 13 April 1933 as a result of the reformation of public transport by the Hong Kong Government. Before the reformation, there were several independent bus operators working on both sides of Victoria Harbour including KMB.
The KMB franchise allowed for the operation of public omnibus service on the Kowloon side as well as the New Territories. By 11 June 1933, KMB had a fleet of 106 single-deck buses.
The founding members of KMB were:
Tang Shiu-kin (鄧肇堅)
William Louey Sui Tak (雷瑞德)
Lui Leung (雷亮)
Tam Woon Tong (譚煥堂)
Lam Ming Fan (林明勳)
By 1940, KMB had 140 single-deckers operating on 17 routes. As only a handful of buses survived World War II, some lorries were temporarily converted into buses. By the late 1940s, KMB ridership increased with the huge influx of immigration from China. In 1949, KMB bought 20 Daimler double-deckers from England, becoming the first operator of double-deckers in Hong Kong.
Following the opening of the Cross Harbour Tunnel in 1972, KMB operated a number of cross-harbour routes jointly with CMB, China Motor Bus, the sole bus operator on Hong Kong Island. This marked the first time KMB buses running on the island.
In the same year, KMB began experimenting with buses operating without a fare collector. All passengers would board from the front door and pay the fare by putting money into the collection box next to the driver.
In 1975, the first air-conditioned bus in Hong Kong was put into service by KMB. Following the testing of double-deck air-conditioned buses Victory and Jubilant in the early 1980s, KMB became the world's first operator of such buses. All purchases after 1995 have been for air-conditioned buses.
九巴沙田車廠（KMB Sha Tin Depot），簡稱沙廠，位於沙田源順圍1號，樓高三層，主要管轄範圍為新界東（北區、大埔區及沙田區），部份行走沙田、大埔、及北區的龍運巴士路線的車輛亦屬於該廠。但於2009年3月1日前，北區及大埔區的車輛均屬屯門車廠管轄。沙田車廠的廠徽為S，因此被部份巴士迷稱為「蛇廠」。
現時除此車廠外，還有屬下的上水車廠、火炭車廠及大埔車廠供車輛停泊。

歷史編輯
沙田車廠於1983年3月11日正式啟用[1]。初期沙田車廠為荔枝角車廠旗下之衛星廠，隨著沙田新市鎮發展，區內交通服務越趨複雜，故於1988年起，沙田車廠從荔枝角車廠獨立出來，自此沙田區的巴士服務由沙田車廠直接管轄。九巴車長訓練學校於同年開辦，並以沙田車廠為基地。
2009年3月1日，所有原由屯門車廠管轄的大埔區及北區車務安排改由沙田車廠負責，同時原屯門廠上水分廠及大埔分廠亦改由沙田車廠管轄，使沙田車廠成為管轄車輛最多的九巴車廠。
2011年9月26日，九巴72、72A、74A線轉為全空調服務，同時亦象徵沙田廠再無固定掛牌路線有非空調巴士行走，成為九巴第二個全冷的車廠。而隸屬該車廠的所有非空調巴士分別於10月28日及12月29日分兩批退役。此後，由沙田車廠參與管理的路線當中僅有71S一路線仍設非空調服務，但由於所有隸屬沙廠的非空調巴士均已告退役或遭封車，令沙廠未能自行派出熱狗行走該路線，因此自2011年11月27日起，沙廠每星期均向富餘非空調車輛較多的荔枝角車廠借調車輛行走該路線，以回應大埔區居民及區議員之訴求。
大型公開活動編輯
主條目：九巴傑出車長選舉總決賽
九巴重點活動「九巴傑出車長選舉總決賽」於沙田車廠舉行，每逢活動舉行時，沙田車廠頂層成為決賽舉行地點，部份區域則開放給公眾使用。
派車爭議編輯
在2010年起，九巴引入290輛富豪B9TL巴士，當中以沙田車廠佔多數，而沙田車廠則將其全面投放於81C、87D、281A等路線，甚至將全新的B9TL投入在不經低排放區的89D路線行走，在網上經常引起北區以及沙田區巴士迷之間的罵戰，甚至有巴士迷將事件向報館投訴[2]，仍無法解決問題，最後這問題直至到大埔區議會交委會2011年第四次會議[3]，大埔交委會主席批評九巴派車不公後，沙田車廠才把全新的B9TL投放於270A及271線行走。

My Story:
Live streaming will be held anytime from Monday to Saturday 9:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m HKT (GMT +8) at anywhere during my spare time. I live in Fanling, New Territory, so it will include my showtime of traveling. Because of home care to my old mother, there will be no extra time beyond above time shown, i.e. NO NIGHT-TIME video. Again, from 9:00 to 16:00 is my bonus time when my mother is been at the senior day-care center, so before and after that, I will not able to make live video.
The reason to make live streaming. I understand most of you are looking for high quality of video, e.g. 4K and VR 180/360. But hardware is so important at this post-production time, that is, the higher quality video, the higher powerful computer to render video. Financial is my biggest issue, I can't afford to buy an expensive hardware right now. Even previous old 2K video, it isn't easy at all, one hour video = 1.5 - 2 hours of rendering, plus uploading time. So 1 hour 4K = 15 hour up......
In order to make it easy for me, live streaming not only save my time but also i can interact with audience, right? But I will continue to make video recording like before, when signal strength is real poor.
I hope this is clear to everyone.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions of watching my live streaming:
A) For the live streaming video quality, I suggest viewers should use a smaller screen to watch, I mean size no bigger than 17 inches. 720p can't be compared to 4K, even 2k, it is because I am NOT using a high-end equipment to do live streaming, please see below, a simple device with simple set-up is best for mobile live, that is, I am walking around, unlike people do indoor or stay in a place. Now the upload speed is around 450 - 500 kbps, if you know, this isn't support a high quality video, but it is all I can get. In fact this speed is equivalent to 480p only .....I think the problem isn't the sim card and this phone, it is most highly due to youtube ?
B) For my location, this is most question people would like to ask me, my answer always put on the first row of this page, the top linkage. Now you will ask: where is it ? By the time you read this, I am sure you were not with me on live, yes this is a google map live sharing feature, I will attach a link start with See me on Google Maps! ..... Not only given my location, but also include my local time, and battery %. This live map is only effective during on my live streaming, it will be no show after live streaming is end !
C) So the best way to watch live is by computer's screen, size enough to open 2 windows, one for live video, another one for live google map, in parallel side by side. The map will update every 30 seconds or less instead of every second I move.

China Motor Bus LV36 Leyland Victoy Mk2 ESF647W (CH9399) Scottish Vintage Bus Museum Openday 2019
LV36 was gifted to the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum by its previous owner New World First Bus Ltd. after the bus was withdrawn from service. For the last 20 years it has been enjoying the retirement life in Dunfermline, Scotland.
In the Mid-1970s, bus operators in Hong Kong had adopted one-man operation, and were running with the new rear-engined Daimler/Leyland Fleetlines. These buses however were developing faults under the harsh working condition on Hong Kong roads, and their performance on hilly roads were unsatisfactory. British bus manufactures had seized the production of traditional front-engined buses long ago; therefore both companies had to look for alternatives. China Motor Bus (CMB) looked into other options available, including the Metro-Scania Metropolitan, Volvo Ailsa B55s and Ashok Leyland Titans, whereas Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB) trialled 4 Guy Victoy J modified and bodied by the South African coachbuilder BUSAF. Some of these buses had the right concept, with the engine and the entrance located at the front overhang, but they all had their own problems. Dennis saw the opportunity and provided KMB with 4 brand new front-engined chassis named the Jubilant for testing, and successfully won a contract of 50 vehicles. This pressured Leyland into developing the Leyland Victory Mk2, which as the name suggested, was based on the Guy Victory J.
The Victory Mk2, nicknamed the “Chicken” due to its “nodding” behaviour from the soft front suspension and the similarity in the word’s Cantonese pronunciation with “Guy” , is fitted with a Gardner 6LXB engine producing 179bhp and a Voith DIWA 851 3-speed automatic gearbox, linked to a Guy planetary hub reduction rear axle. This vehicle, like the majority of its kind, has a Walter Alexander CB type body. The model is also known for its height and high centre of gravity, and had been involved in a number of rollover accidents back in the day.
I was still a small child when the Vcitoy Mk2s were phased out from the fleets of Hong Kong, and never had a chance to ride on them. I couldn’t hold back my excitement when I saw LV36 in person, a bus that is specifically designed for the Hong Kong market. It was brought out to run the internal shuttle service once in the morning, and twice in the afternoon, each lasted for several roundtrips of the shuttle route. The bodywork is in a superb condition, and on top of that, several Hong Kong Bus enthusiasts visited recently and decorated it with authentic writings and stickers. Some odd metal clunking noise was coming from the drive train and the gearbox was a bit jittery when changing up, but the engine was very lively and overall it performed tremendously. The ride was living up to its nickname and was quite bouncy when going over bumps, still relatively comfy when compared to a Fleetline or Atlantean, though. It was a shame that LV36 couldn’t run a service outside the Museum at the moment, it was because of a problem with its license, according to the driver. Hopefully we could see it running on trips soon.
P.S. If you have managed to read through all this, I should probably point out that this is not a video by FF3170, despite the similarity in video editing style, it was merely a shameless copy so I don’t have to come up with my own format *insert appropriate emoji*.
Thank you for watching!
