The New Territories Bus Route 213E is operated by Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB). It runs between Anderson and Kowloon Station, which passes through Kwun Tong Bypass, Kai Tak Tunnel and East Kowloon Corridor after Sau Mau Ping (Po Tat Estate) to and from Hung Hom (← Chatham Road North) and Tsim Sha Tsui. It provides outbound and inbound services respectively during morning and afternoon peak hours on Mondays to Fridays.

Sai Kung District and Kwun Tong District are bounded by the former Anderson Road, with the Anderson Road Quarry Site located to the east of it, making this route the one of the regular franchised bus route serving the New Territories but with urban Kowloon numbering.

History

Commencing background

To tie in with the development of the Anderson Road Quarry site, The Transport Department proposed in the 2022-2023 Bus Route Planning Programme to introduce a route between the area and Kowloon Station via On Yu Road, Po Tat Estate, Kwun Tong Bypass, Kai Tak Tunnel and the East Kowloon Corridor to and from Tsim Sha Tsui, with outbound and return trips to and from Tsim Sha Tsui to be provided during the morning and afternoon peak hours from Mondays to Fridays respectively.

After an open tender process, the Transport Department announced in late August 2024 that KMB had been awarded the tender and was later numbered 213E. Unlike the original plan, this route will not operate via On Hei Street and will only provide one trip each direction at the initial stage.

Remarks: Passengers must use the same Octopus Card to enjoy the above interchange concessions. Passengers can also use the same electronic payment instrument account to enjoy the interchange concessions between KMB departures or Citybus departures on the above routes, but cross-group (KMB↔Citybus) interchanges are not applicable. The interchange concession is not applicable to interchanges to the same route or routes divided by "/", nor is it applicable to overnight and late night bus routes. The interchange concession of $5.0 is only applicable to the Western Harbour Tunnel BBI or before, but is not limited to KMB's designated combined interchange locations. Some interchange combinations cannot be used at the same time as the two-way section fares on Route 900.

Free second trips are not available when transferring at the Western Harbour Crossing; some Citybus interchange concessions are exclusively operated . There are also interchange concessions on Hong Kong Island between some of these routes, and the amount may be different from the Western Harbour Crossing interchanges. Please refer to the relevant entries on each route for details. Passengers on Routes 976 and 976A must interchange at the Western Harbour Crossing BBI. Passengers who interchange at Tai Lam Tunnel Bus-Bus Interchange cannot enjoy the interchange concessions. These interchange concessions can be used in conjunction with the interchange concession schemes for Hong Kong Island Routes, Tuen Mun Road Routes and Tai Lam Tunnel Routes. The discount for children under 12 years old is calculated at half the rate; for passengers who benefit from the Public Transport Fare Concession Scheme for the Elderly and Eligible Persons with Disabilities, if the second journey fare is the above second journey discount fare (for example, those aged 65 or above, qualified persons with disabilities, or passengers under 12 years old, the concession in halved) or $2.0, whichever is lower.

When interchanging from KMB to LWB A Routes, passengers may get back the actual fare paid for the first journey (i.e. the lower of the original fare (50% discount for elderly or eligible persons with disabilities under 12 years old) and $2.0). ＊: For interchanging from KMB Route B1 (Tin Tsz direction) to LWB Route A43P ( Airport direction), the actual fare paid for the first journey will be refunded for the next journey, except that the interchange concession cannot be enjoyed for the first journey of Route B1, otherwise, only the normal (i.e. maximum $6.0) interchange concession will be offered; for interchange from LWB Route A43P (Luen Wo Hui direction) to KMB Route B1 (Lok Ma Chau direction), passengers will be offered a free interchange concession for the second journey, but no interchange discount will be offered for the first journey of route A43P and no other interchange concession will be offered for route B1 thereafter. This special concession is not applicable to other LWB A routes (including Routes A36, A37 and A43). Edit
