- Early 1968: Yau Tong terminus was relocated from on-street on Yau Tong Road into Yan Wing Street[Remark 1] between Blocks 8 and 11 of Yau Tong Estate, outside the open area of Yau Tong Hawker Bazaar, i.e. the area around today's Evangelize China Fellowship Holy Word School.

Bus deployment evolution history[]
| Bus deployment evolution history of KMB Route 14 |
|---|
|
Route 14 initially operated with Daimler E buses. Following its extension to Ko Chiu Road in 1973, additional AEC Regent V buses were deployed. During the 1980s, the fleet was replaced with Dennis Jubilant (N). In 1985, a trial run was conducted using a Dennis Dragon 12m (3N) three-axle bus, originally from Route 116 (3N7/DA7269)[26][27]; later, Daimler Fleetline (D) buses were temporarily reinstated. In 1988, the route was assigned Dennis Dragon 11m (S3N) tri-axle buses, followed by the introduction of Leyland Olympian (S3BL) buses.[28] In 1992, Dennis Dragon 11m (AD) buses were introduced. In 2001, Volvo Olympian 12m (3AV) buses were added. Entering the 21st century, Dennis Trident 12m (ATR) low-floor buses were introduced, replaced in 2015 by Volvo Super Olympian 12m (3ASV) buses. As of 2011, two non-air-conditioned buses remained being scheduled buses on this route (Dennis Dragon 11m S3N324/FZ7937 and S3N335/FZ7458, with the former operating only during weekday peak hours). On 10 September 2011, the route transitioned to full air-conditioned service. The remaining two non-air-conditioned buses (S3N324, S3N335) were replaced by two Volvo Olympian 12m double-decker air-conditioned buses (3AV101/GP7359, 3AV105/GP7842). To complement the introduction of Route 14X, this route received an additional Volvo Olympian (3AV206/HD8854) and a Volvo Super Olympian (3ASV120/JX6847) in 2013, marking the first deployment of buses with electronic destination signs on this route. From 2015 onwards, the number of Volvo Super Olympian buses (3ASV series; AVW with Wright Explorer bodywork introduced in June 2019, since withdrawn) in the fleet was steadily increased; by the end of June that year, the entire route was operated exclusively by this model, marking the full transition to low-floor vehicles across the service. In September 2018, Enviro500 MMC (ATENU) buses were introduced to the route. In December of the same year, Volvo B9TL buses (AVBWU, since withdrawn; AVBW with Wright Gemini bodywork, introduced in March 2020 and since withdrawn; AVBE with Enviro500 MKII bodywork, temporarily introduced in February 2021 for e-payment system implementation) were added. By June 2020, the entire fleet had been upgraded to full straight-staircase bus deployments. In February 2021, KMB deployed buses equipped with the e-payment system on designated routes and this route saw the introduction of Enviro500 12m buses (ATE, since withdrawn). |
