History[]

Opening background[]

In order to cope with the future population growth of Tuen Mun Area 54, the Transport Department proposed in the 2019-2020 Bus Route Planning Programme to launch six new bus routes with this area as its terminus, including one to and from Sai Wan Ho (Tai On Street), taking Tuen Mun Road, Tsing Kwai Highway, West Kowloon Highway, and Western Harbor Crossing to cross the harbour, and go through the entire section of the Central-Wan Chai Bypass, with the return journey going via the Central-Wan Chai Bypass from Fortress Hill to Wan Chai, Fenwick Pier Street, Connaught Road Central, from Monday to Friday in the morning and afternoon, with one round trip service each during peak hours.

The Transport Department announced on 3 August 2021 that six new Tuen Mun Area 54 bus routes have been awarded to Citybus [2], with this route numbered 955.

Route Changes[]

  • 21 November 2022: Route 955 entered service.[3][4]
