===Vehicle Improvement Works===
Citybus began to carry out a number of improvement projects on batches of the Enviro500 MMC buses that have been put into service since February 2017, including:
* Guardrails added to the [[alighting doors]] of all buses to ensure the safety of passengers;
* In view of the "wheel throwing" incident that occurred in Citybus in 2016, all the hoods were removed, the center of the hoods was cut off and reinstalled so that the engineering department could check the wheel screws, so the hoods turned into rims;
* In response to the reorganization of Chow Tai Fook Group on [[15 November]] 2016, the remaining equity was sold to [[NWS Holdings]]<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/HKBusChannel/posts/1129244930446540 「16/11【左手交右手】因應集團重組，新巴及城巴將由周大福集團拼入新創建集團全資擁有，作價接近14億元。」], plaxtonl's Buses Page's Facebook Page</ref>, so the "Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and NWS Holdings" stickers were removed and replace by a sticker reading "Members of NWS Holdings" were affixed to the left<ref>[http://www.hkitalk.net/HKiTalk2/thread-996865-1-1.html 與周大福企業「劃清界線」嘅新巴城巴], hkitalk.net.</ref>, but due to the sale of NWS Group’s transportation business in August 2020, the “Member of NWS Group” sticker have also been gradually removed.

* If most passenger seats on buses put into service starting from 2016 were not equipped with three-point seat belts in advance, the upper passenger seats would gradually be replaced with passenger seats equipped with three-point safety belts.
* Head locks were gradually added<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10226491943798972&set=gm.1681310942311678&idorvanity=1060857804356998].</ref>
