The New Territories Bus Route 798 is operated by Citybus. It runs between Tiu Keng Leng Station and Fo Tan (Chun Yeung Estate), via Tseung Kwan O Town Centre, Hang Hau, Po Lam, Sha Tin Wai (Greenfield Court) and Sha Tin Central.
This express route takes Tseung Kwan O Tunnel, Kwun Tong Bypass and Tate's Cairn Tunnel in between Sha Tin and Tseung Kwan O, which is heavily valued during both NWFB and Citybus eras, and was respectively branded as "TKO – Sha Tin Express Links" and as one of the "Trunk Routes".
History[]
Introducing Background[]
With the development of Tseung Kwan O, the population has been increasing and the demand for external transport has been growing. Since the late 1990s, some District Council members requested the introduction of direct franchised bus routes between Sha Tin and Tseung Kwan O. However, the Transport Department and KMB refused on the grounds that residents could interchange at Kwun Tong town centre, use the railway service and the passenger demand was insufficient. KMB introduced Octopus Interchange Concessions between routes 98A and 296A and six New Territories routes on 26 March 2000 and 25 March 2001 respectively, and extended the concessions to most bus routes to and from the New Territories via Kwun Tong Road between 2001 and 2002, making it almost impossible to introduce bus routes between Sha Tin and Tseung Kwan O.
In the 21st century, direct residents' bus services (NR21, NR27, NR212) from Tseung Kwan O to Sha Tin Town Centre and Fo Tan Industrial Area emerged one after another, and the Octopus Interchange Scheme between KMB routes 98A and 296A to New Territories routes was quite popular among residents. However, the journey time of Route 98A is too long, while Route 296A cannot serve Tiu Keng Leng and Tseung Kwan O Town Centre, etc. Tseung Kwan O residents and District Council members have not yet given up their demand for a direct one-way bus route to Sha Tin;[1][2] in addition, some Kwun Tong District Council members are dissatisfied that Tseung Kwan O interchange passengers "dominate" the main source of bus services between Sha Tin and Kwun Tong. In the 2010-2011 Bus Route Development Plan (Sai Kung and Sha Tin Districts), it was proposed that routes 796B and 797M be cancelled and seven buses be deployed to operate new routes between Tiu Keng Leng Station and Fo Tan (Shan Mei Street).
The Sha Tin District Council was dissatisfied with the late start time of the new route from Fo Tan, and objections to the cancellation of routes 796B and 797M had yet to be resolved, causing delays in the implementation of the full scheme[4]. The Transport Department subsequently revised the proposal to advance the first train time of the new route from Sha Tin and to provide interchange concessions. Initially, it was hoped that the new route would be operated in conjunction with the new GMB route 112M between LOHAS Park Station and Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate (Chun Cheong Street), and that routes 796B and 797M would be cancelled.[3] As the Sha Tin District Council could not reach a consensus on the details, some District Council members requested to observe the area around Yu Chui Court,[4] thus delaying the commencement date again and again.[5]
After a round of wrangling and a meeting between the Transport Department and the Sha Tin District Council in September 2010, the TD finally decided to launch the new route 798 on 10 October 2010, while route 797M was not discontinued as proposed, but only shortened to Tseung Kwan O Station and adjusted in frequency.

Bus deployment evolution history[]
| Bus deployment evolution history of Citybus Route 798 |
|---|
|
Before Route 798 came into service, NWFB proposed to use a quota of 5 and 2 buses from each of Routes 796B and 797M, which had been released after the cancellation of these routes. However, as route 797M could not be cancelled, only one bus could be released, so six buses were eventually used on this route, plus an order bus from Route 792M. Before the cancellation of Route 796B, the main vehicle used was a single-decker Dennis Dart (20XX) bus, which was the main vehicle used on this route at the beginning. Later, the route was gradually switched to double-decker Volvo Super Olympian (50XX-51XX) or Dennis Trident (10XX-11XX, 12XX, 30XX) due to increased ridership. Since 8 November 2010, the route has been fully converted to double-decker buses. Subsequently, with the opening of the new permanent Tseung Kwan O Depot on 1 February 2013, NWFB started to deploy Enviro500 (5500-5582) to further enhance its services as the new depot was equipped with AdBlue equipment. From 2 May 2014, NWFB put up a full-body advertisement entitled "Tseung Sha Express" on a Volvo Olympian (VA76/HF940) purchased from Citybus, but the vehicle was short-lived and was retired on 28 April the following year after about a year of service. On 8 April 2019, this route was approved for the use of 12.8m buses, with additional Enviro500 MMC 12.8m (6100-6209) being deployed by NWFB since 19 May. |
