In 2009, Hop Kwan introduced a supplementary route "31A" to provide a short-working circular service between Tong Yan San Tsuen and Yuen Long Plaza from Monday to Friday mornings on weekdays.

There was one 2002 Mitsubishi Rosa minibus, licence plate KL5188, in the fleet of Hop Kwan, which was retired in March 2011 and replaced by a Toyota LPG minibus.
