History[]
Commencing background[]
The "Heritage Route" logo of Route H1 during Rickshaw Sightseeing Bus era
- The main article of this section is the launching process of Rickshaw Sightseeing Bus.
The proposal to introduce open-top bus routes on Hong Kong Island was mentioned in the 2009-2010 Bus Route Development Programme and subsequently supported by the District Council. The NWFB held a launching ceremony on 17 October 2009 at Central Ferry Piers Bus Terminus[1] and invited members of the Hong Kong Transport Society and Bus Fan World to have a priority tour.[2]
The following day, Rickshaw Sightseeing Bus Routes H1 and H2 commenced service[3]. Route H1, with its terminus at Central (Star Ferry) (outside Pier 6) and Pokfield Road, was positioned as a "Heritage Tour" as it passes by many monuments on Hong Kong Island and markers of old Hong Kong; and was renamed as "Heritage Route" in December 2009 at the request of the Tourism Commission.[4]

- Bus stops at "Ladder Street" and "Sutherland Street" were cancelled and new stops at "Queen Street", "Seymour Road" and "Eastern Street" were added;

Bus deployment evolution history[]
| Bus deployment evolution history of Cross-Harbour Bus Route H1 |
|---|
|
NWFB converted 5 Volvo Olympian 11m buses (VA51-55) into double-decker full open-top bus during the initial commencement of Route H1 for services on the route as well as Route H2. Later, NWFB converted 5 Euro III Dennis Trident 12m buses (1215-1219) double-decker air-conditioned buses into semi-open-top buses with air-conditioned compartment retained on the lower deck to replace Volvo Olympians (VA51-55) (some transferred to Citybus non-franchised fleet). 1215 entered service on 16 May 2015.[39] All Rickshaw Sightseeing Bus routes suspended service from 17 February 2020 due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. During this period, the original Dennis Trident 12m buses (1215-1219) reached the 18-year age limit one by one, so the route was replaced by three Enviro500 12m (5550-5552) semi-open-top buses when the route resumed service in October. In 2024, Citybus expanded its fleet of open-top buses by converting nine Enviro500 MMC 12m buses (8352-8360, renumbered as 59903-59911 after conversion) into semi-open-top buses, which were added to the route from April to October and became the main model on this route. |
