  KMB Launches New Series of “Hold the Handrails” Safety Messages

  The Kowloon Motor Bus Co. (1933) Ltd. (“KMB”) is committed to providing safe and reliable bus services for passengers. With the aim to further enhance the safety awareness of passengers, a new series of safety messages will be broadcast on the Bus Stop Announcement System (“BSAS”) of buses beginning 17 March. A total of 120 designated routes will be selected and these safety messages serve as friendly reminders to hold the handrails during bus journey.

  A KMB spokesperson said, “KMB launched a series of safety messages broadcast on both the Multi-media On-board (“MMOB”) system and the BSAS last year, and we found that the number of incidents involving passengers losing balance inside bus compartments has significantly dropped since the launch.” This encouraging result gives KMB impetus to further promote safety messages and encourage passengers to hold the handrails at all times to prevent loss of balance in the event of unexpected traffic incidents.

  The new series of safety messages features ten friendly and congenial slogans comprising “Bus Boy reminds you to hold the handrails tightly”, “Your safety, our mission - please hold the handrails” and so on. In order to give these friendly reminders greater impact, KMB invited Mr. Bowie Wu Fung, a renowned local actor whose voice is familiar to Hong Kong people, to provide the voice for the messages in Cantonese. The safety messages are also broadcast in English and Putonghua.

  Lantau Island. 

  Or to be more specific (if you intend to count in those DDs by CTB/Long Win at Tung Chung), Discovery Bay. 

  Svc 38 to Yat Tong is one svc under popular demand that only uses SDs. 

  All discovery bay svcs, be it intra-estate or out-of-estate, uses SDs (MAN SDs, similar to CTB ones iirc)

  Other ulu svcs like 11 to Tai O uses coaches.

  Well, as what some said, the livery is to differentiate between normal and Hybrids... KMB will have theirs as well... We'll see if KMB will get the green mix or other colours not...
