Bus Deployments[]

This route is served by 5 double-decker buses on weekdays and 7 double-deck buses on holidays; due to the narrow and winding Tai Tam Road, this route can only be served by Enviro400/Euro V (70XX, 310XX/38XX, 315XX) double-decker buses, and Enviro200 MMC 10.7m (2501-2505) single-decker buses may be used in the early stage after a stronger tropical cyclone.

Bus Deployment Evolution History[]

Bus Deployment Evolution History of Citybus Route 14

In the early years of Route 14, the double-decked buses of Guy Arab V (LS, LX) were used for a long time, and it was not until the LX was retired at the end of 1996 that the whole route was replaced by Leyland Victory II (LV) (4 buses were deployed at that time). During the CMB period, a Dennis Dart (DC or CX) on route 262 would operate on this route from Sai Wan Ho Ferry Pier to Stanley Fort on weekday mornings, charging ordinary bus fares, and was the only air-conditioned service on this route before it was officially introduced with air-conditioned bus services. [27]

After NWFB took over, it continued to use Leyland Victory II in the initial stage, then Dennis Dart (20XX) single-decker air-conditioned buses on weekdays from 1999, then full air-conditioned service in the third quarter of the same year, and later Dennis Trident (33XX).

In 2016, NWFB ordered 60 Enviro400 Euro V (38XX), which is 10.4 metres long and only 4.17 metres high, to replace the shorter Dennis Tridents (33XX) as they aged. After a trial run, the 3827 served the route for the first time on 28 April 2017[28], and went on to become the mainstay.

Between mid-April and July 2019, in response to the Peak Tram development programme, NWFB has leased some Enviro400s from Citybus to serve this route and Route 9 in order to ensure sufficient short-bodied low-height double-decker buses to meet demand to and from The Peak. [29][30]

In 2021, NWFB needed to borrow some of its Enviro400s from Citybus for this route due to the shortage of short buses for the heavy holiday patronage:

  • 2 April (Easter and Ching Ming Festival holidays). [31]
  • 22 July: During the summer holidays. [32]

In 2023, NWFB needed to borrow some of its Enviro400s from Citybus for this route due to the shortage of NWFB's short buses on holidays due to the large number of passengers. [33] With the Citybus and NWFB Franchised Bus Network Merger, the Enviro400 Euro V low-height buses became the mainstay of the fleet as they were prioritised to serve the height-restricted Peak Route.
