The Kowloon Urban Bus Route 11 is operated by Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB). It runs between Diamond Hill Station and Kowloon Station, via Lower Wong Tai Sin Estate, San Po Kong, Ma Tau Wai, To Kwa Wan (Ma Tau Wai Road), Hung Hom (Chatham Road North) and Jordan.
History[]
Before WWII[]
- 26 January 1928: China Motor Bus (CMB) launched Route "11", running between To Kwa Wan and Shamshuipo. At that time, the route's terminus at Shamshuipo was located at the end of Shanghai Street, i.e. today's junction between Nam Cheong Street, Un Chau Street and Tai Po Road, and the terminus at To Kwa Wan was at Bailey Shipyard (the area around today's Ma Tau Wai Road opposite to Pak Tai Temple).[1]
- Journeys towards Sham Shui Po were routed via Kowloon City Road, Taku Street, Wuhu Street, Chatham Road, Gascoigne Road, Nathan Road, Public Square Street, Canton Road and Shanghai Street; journeys towards To Kwa Wan were routed via Shanghai Street, Canton Road, Kansu Street, Gascoigne Road, Chatham Road, Wuhu Street, Taku Street and Kowloon City Road.[2]
- 1 April 1928: The Police reorganised and restructured the buses in Kowloon, restricting the operation of major routes to one bus company only and drawing up a timetable for strict enforcement by the bus companies, with this route scheduled to be served by CMB.[3]
- 10 June 1933: In conjunction with the commencement of the district franchise on 11 June, all the fleet and routes of China Motor Bus serving Kowloon and the New Territories were handed over to Kowloon Motor Bus to take over after the last bus of 9 June, and the operation was commenced by Kowloon Motor Bus on that day.[4][5] According to the terms of the then franchise, the service hours were 06:00-01:00, with departures every 10 minutes and the capacity of each bus being between 20-25 passengers. The route was also changed to operate via Ma Tau Wai Road, Taku Street, Wuhu Street, Chatham Road, Gascoigne Road, Jordan Road, Shanghai Street and Lai Chi Kok Road, no longer serving Canton Road.[6]
- 12 June 1933: With the Passenger Licence at Jordan Road Ferry effective from that day onwards, ferries no longer berthed at Yaumati Ferry and Mongkok Ferry, and this route was also rerouted to serve Jordan Road Ferry instead.[7]
- 1 July 1934: Extended from To Kwa Wan to Kowloon City, which was routed via Ma Tau Wai Road until Prince Edward Road and merged with Route 4.[8] This change was implemented as part of the resource amalgamation in accordance with the dissatisfaction of service quality by residents after KMB won the franchise for Kowloon and New Territories bus routes.[9]
- 1 March 1938: Shamshuipo end was extended to Lai Chi Kok to merge with Route 12 with the KMB's rationalisation of bus routes in Kowloon.[10]
- 1 April 1941: Detoured via Jordan Road, Battery Street and Public Square Street after detouring via Jordan Road Ferry towards Shanghai Street for Lai Chi Kok direction.
- 8 December 1941: The Japanese army declared war on Britain and the United States and immediately launched air raids on Hong Kong. The government immediately announced the imposition of the War Emergency Act to impose compulsory requisition of vehicles. Bus services were cut back,[11] until 10 December when they were completely suspended.[12][13]
After WWII[]
- 21 December 1946: Service was resumed and was split into two routes: the route operating between Kowloon City (terminus at Prince Edward Road (Kau Pui Shek) near junction with Tam Kung Road) and Jordan Road Ferry was numbered as 11, while the route operating between Jordan Road and Lai Chi Kok via Shanghai Street was renumbered as 12[14], among which this route was rerouted via Jordan Road, Gascoigne Road, Chatham Road, Ma Tau Wai Road and Tam Kung Road in lieu of Wuhu Street and Taku Street.
- Originally scheduled to resume service on 1 December[15]; due to the lack of maintenance of Shanghai Street following the Japanese surrender, KMB had to trial on section between Shanghai Street and Hung Hom first[16] but ended up in failure. However, KMB had to resume service on this route as soon as possible as Jordan Road Ferry lacked connecting routes.
- 1 June 1947: To tie in with the implementation of Daylight Saving Time that year, all KMB routes extended their first and last bus times, with first buses departing one hour earlier and last buses half an hour later.[17]
- 1 February 1949: Section fares were added on all urban routes, with section fare points set up at Kowloon Dockyard Gate and Ma Tau Kok. The first section fare was reduced to 10 cents.[18]
- March 1951: Kowloon City terminus was relocated to inside the newly-built roundabout at Kau Pui Shek (now the area around the substation beneath Prince Edward Road flyover).[19]
- 1951: Rerouted via Ma Tau Wai Road at Hung Hom for both directions and also rerouted via Wuhu Street (to Kowloon City)/Taku Street and Bulkeley Street (to Jordan Road Ferry) to and from Chatham Road.[20]
- 5 September 1952: KMB rationalised the en-route bus stops:
- The eastbound stop on Jordan Road near Parkes Street junction was cancelled;
- A new stop was added on eastbound Jordan Road near Chi Wo Street junction.[21]
- 8 April 1957: Rerouted via Mok Cheong Street for Kowloon City direction in lieu of Sung Wong Toi Road.
- 1958: Also rerouted via Wuhu Street for Jordan direction in lieu of Taku Street and Bulkeley Street.
- 21 September 1958: The Kowloon City terminus was relocated to the temporary bus terminus located at the Kai Tak Airport runway end on Clear Water Bay Road (i.e. near present-day Kai Tak Garden bus stop) with the intake of Wong Tai Sin Resettlement Area and for the convenience of those working at the airport, and the new terminus was named Clear Water Bay Road. The terminus for other times remained at inside the Kau Pui Shek roundabout[22][23], which was not until 5 October onwards when this route was changed to serve the new terminus on a whole-day basis. The terminus was renamed back to Kowloon City with the Government's decision to convert the old terminus into roads connecting to the airport.[24]
- That terminus was renamed as Chuk Yuen on 14 March 1960.[25]
- 15 February 1960: The section fare point at Ma Tau Kok Road was cancelled.[26]
- 10 December 1960: Chuk Yuen terminus was relocated to Shatin Pass Road.[27]

- 1 September 1963: Rerouted via Gillies Avenue and Winslow Street after approaching Wuhu Street towards Chatham Road for Jordan Road Ferry direction to facilitate the launching of HYF North Point - Kowloon City and Hung Hom Route.[28][29]
- 9 February 1964: Changed to go directly along Ma Tau Chung Road and Ma Tau Wai Road for both directions in lieu of Tam Kung Road to facilitate the reopening of Ma Tau Chung Road south of Ma Tau Kok Road.[Remark 1]
- 18 October 1965: With the closure of the roundabout at Ma Tau Wai Road, Chatham Road and To Kwa Wan Road:[30]
- Chuk Yuen bound journeys were rerouted via San Lau Street towards Chatham Road;
- Jordan Road Ferry bound journeys were rerouted via Chi Kiang Street towards To Kwa Wan Road.
- Early 1966: Rerouted via Technical College access road (later renamed On Fat Road, now disappeared) towards Chatham Road in lieu of Winslow Street.
- 25 June 1967: During the lack of manpower during 1967 riots, limited service was provided between 07:00 - 20:00 only and the route was also rerouted via the Upper Road (Chatham Road) in lieu of the Lower Road (Wuhu Street and Ma Tau Wai Road) for both directions.
- Service hour was resumed in August the same year but the routing change was permanently implemented.
- 27 February 1968: Chuk Yuen terminus was relocated to the newly-completed terminus located at Shatin Pass Road and Chan Yan Street junction.[31]
- 18 June 1970: Jordan bound journeys were rerouted via the newly-completed flyover connecting Prince Edward Road and Choi Hung Road.[32]

Bus deployment evolution history[]

This route commenced operation with double-deckers on 13 August 1951.[54] Between 1986 and 2001, the route primarily utilised high-capacity Dennis Dragon 12m (3N) buses, though 11-metre Leyland Olympian (S3BL) buses were also deployed.[55] In 1992, Leyland Olympian 11m (AL) and Dennis Dragon 11m (AD) buses were introduced. In 1997, air-conditioned Dennis Dragon 12m (3AD) buses commenced service. Entering the 21st century, Volvo Super Olympian 12m (3ASV) buses were introduced to provide low-floor services; and in 2008, Volvo Olympian 12m (3AV) buses replaced the Dennis Dragon (3AD) buses. As of 2011, two Dennis Dragon 11m buses (S3N274/FX6852 and S3N292/FX9995) remained in service on this route as non-air-conditioned buses. The former was replaced on 17 January that year by a Volvo Olympian 12m double-decker air-conditioned bus (3AV54/GN4157) as part of the route's air-conditioned service enhancement; The latter was replaced on 22 July by a Volvo Olympian (S3V21/GK9583) originally from Route 11K, before being replaced in September of the same year by a Dennis Dragon (S3N349/GA1468) originally from Route 11B, which served as a spare bus for a period. Entering 2012, it was re-designated on the running order for retired part-time bus captains (running order R-series) operating on this route. On 10 April 2012, the route was upgraded to full air-conditioned service. The sole remaining non-air-conditioned bus (S3N349) was replaced by a Volvo Super Olympian (3ASV118/JW4379) previously operated on Route 26. In 2015, the sole remaining Dennis Dragon (3AD72/HM3524) was replaced by a Volvo Super Olympian (3ASV448/KT4707), completing the fleet's transition to low-floor buses. To facilitate the implementation of low-emission zones on busy sections, four Enviro500 MMC (ATENU) buses originally assigned to routes 1A and 113 were added to this route in December 2015. This was to enable them to operate on Route 671, which traverses the Low Emission Zone at Causeway Bay; however, these buses have since been withdrawn. In June 2017, Volvo B9TL (AVBE) buses were introduced to the route, replaced in August the following year by Enviro500 12m buses (ATE, since withdrawn). In March 2019, Volvo B9TL (AVBWU) buses were introduced to this route, followed by newly registered Volvo B8L (V6B, since withdrawn) buses in July of the same year. In August that year, an additional Enviro500 (ATEU, since withdrawn) originally assigned to Route 3C was introduced, and the conversion to full straight-staircase fleet was achieved in November 2020. In December 2020, the route commenced operation with an Enviro500 MMC (95XX, withdrawn) on loan from Long Win Bus (LWB). On 25 October 2023, a BYD B12D double-decker electric bus was added to this route.[56] |
