The New Territories Resident Bus Route NR88 (The Transport Department officially calls this Route NR88, while Citybus calls this Route 88R) is operated by Citybus (Passenger Service Licence (PSL) No. 3826A). It runs between City One Shatin and Central [Remark 1], with intermediate bus stops along the route at Wan Chai North, Admiralty and Central. It is currently the only residents' bus route that Citybus operates that has a full-day service on a daily basis, and it is also the only cross-harbour residents' bus route in Hong Kong that provides a full-day service on a daily basis.
The return trip of Route NR88 passes through a number of tunnels. Towards Central, the Tate's Cairn Tunnel and Eastern Harbour Crossing are generally used; while towards City One Shatin, the Cross-Harbour Tunnel and Lion Rock Tunnel is usually used, and bus captains may decide to divert to other tunnels depending on the actual traffic conditions. As for the special departures from City One Shatin to Central (Alexandra House) on weekday mornings, they are designated to pass through Sha Tin Heights Tunnel, Eagle's Nest Tunnel and Western Harbour Crossing, has become Sha Tin District's first bus route to Hong Kong Island via Route 8 and the Western Harbour Crossing.
Although Citybus Route 88R is specially designed for residents of City One Shatin, anyone can actually ride it. On the other hand, the vehicles used on this route have been in service on franchised bus routes. Most of them are equipped with standee positions and unlike other residential bus operators, Citybus does not use high-floor coach buses. The operation mode is close to franchised buses[Remark 2]. However, cash payment for fares is not accepted on this route.

Bus Deployment Evolution History[]
| Bus Deployment Evolution History of Citybus Route 88R |
|---|
|
Since its inception in 1989, this route has been run on non-patented Leyland Olympians (1XX, 2XX and 3XX). After the opening of the KCR Ma On Shan Rail (now the MTR Tuen Ma Line) in 2004, the number of passengers dropped. In addition to reducing the frequency of services, Citybus also began to dispatch single-decker buses during non-peak hours from time to time, including the retired Dennis Dart (148X) and Volvo B6 (13XX). Starting from 29 April, 2014, five of Citybus's Volvo Olympians (570-574) were transferred to the non-patent department. In response to the government-funded plan to replace early-stage commercial vehicles in the European Union, Leyland Olympian of the Citybus non-exclusive fleet retired in 2015 or before. Since then, the Volvo Olympian 12m and the 11m (9XX) and Plaxton Pointer 12m (601-610) have joined later. Dennis Trident 12m (2212, 2215, 2311) had gradually become the main force on this route. In addition, in the late 1990s, Citybus' cross-border bus fleet would operate on this route during morning peak hours, so buses registered in both China and Hong Kong would appear on this route, including the Leyland Olympian (1XX, 3XX) , Volvo B10M (12XX), Volvo B12 (200X), etc. This arrangement was terminated in 2001 after Citybus completely withdrew from the cross-border bus service industry. All non-franchised buses of Citybus have service approval for this route, so they have more flexibility in deploying backup buses. During the Christmas period from the early 2000s to 2008 and from 2016 to 2018, additional double-decker open-top buses were dispatched to this route. The route attracts citizens to take this route to enjoy the light displays. When the supply of covered buses is tight, open-top buses may also be deployed, but the upper deck will be closed, which will reduce the passenger capacity. Therefore, there has been complains by residents of City One[20]. In 2020, Citybus arranged for Enviro500 12m (8204-8234) and Enviro500 MMC 11.3m (9100-9107) to be transferred to the non-patent department to continue service, and gradually replaced the Euro III Volvo Super Olympian and Dennis Trident. On 1 August, the Enviro500 12m (8223/RL6869) was assigned to run on this route for the first time [21]; as for the Enviro500 MMC 11.3m, the first departure was made by 9102/SA7428 with the retro livery on 7 August. [22] Since Euro III diesel commercial vehicles cannot renew their licenses starting from July 2020, they will become the only two buses with Euro III emissions in the fleet in 2021 (including the Volvo Super Olympian 12m and Dennis Trident 12m) last year of service. On 26 March, 2021, Citybus announced online the day before that was the last service day of the Dennis Trident 12m (2312 and 2314), attracting a large number of bus fans to ride and take photos. With 2314 arriving at City One Shatin and returning to the depot for retirement, it meant that the Citybus fleet no longer has Euro III buses, and all routes passing through the low emission zone are fully compliant with the low emission zone standards. |

Ridership[]
This route adopts "point-to-point" arrangement and is much faster than Route 182, successfully gaining the latter's customer base in City One Shatin. It has a good passenger volume during peak hours, but it is often empty during off-peak hours due to its small service range and high fares.
After the Sha Tin Heights Tunnel and Eagle's Nest Tunnel were opened to traffic in 2008, a "Western Harbour Crossing Morning Special Departures" was added to this route. The frequency of the service was significantly increased in just three months, and later became more frequent than the regular service, which makes it very popular. In recent years, the congestion situation of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel and the Eastern Harbour Crossing has worsened and the City One Owners Committee has also discussed with the Transport Department to consider arranging for this route to be diverted to the Western Harbour Crossing throughout the day.[16]

The fronts of both vehicles were seriously damaged, the taxi driver was injured, and all the people on the bus were injured. [24]

In addition, Citybus purchased several 16-year-old Dennis Tridents (NWFB fleet nos. 1210-1214, 1220-1221) equipped with Euro III engines from New World First Bus in 2018. They were then assigned to the non-franchised division which included route 88R, attracting bus fans to ride and pay attention to deployments.
