Vehicle improvement project[]
LWB has been carrying out a number of improvement works for the Enviro500 MMC buses already in service in batches since 2017, including:
- Installation of guardrails on all bus alighting doors one after another to protect passenger safety;
- Replacement of all LWB signs on buses. [2]
- From November 2019, new Dynamic Passenger Information System behind the upper staircase and behind the drop-off doors.
- Starting in October 2020, some buses that do not have three-point seat belts pre-installed on the majority of the passenger seats will gradually replace the upper deck passenger seats with those that have been fitted with three-point seat belts.
