Selection of operator for West Kowloon Reclamation bus package

Transport Department announced today (November 7) that New World First Bus Services Limited has been selected to operate a package of bus routes in West Kowloon Reclamation.

In mid 2002, Transport Department invited applications from all the existing franchised bus operators to operate a package of bus routes in West Kowloon Reclamation. Transport Department received a total of four applications.

The applications were assessed by a Selection Board comprising representatives from Transport Department, Home Affairs Department, Highways Department, Labour Department, Independent Commission Against Corruption and Department of Justice.

The package comprises five bus routes which will be introduced progressively from 2003 to tie in with population intake in West Kowloon Reclamation.
