The Kowloon Urban Bus Route (Overnight Service) N3D is operated by Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB). It runs between Kwun Tong (Yue Man Square) and Tsz Wan Shan (Central), via Kowloon Bay (Kwun Tong Road), Choi Hung and Hammer Hill, with the same routing as Route 3D.
This is KMB's first regular late night route serving Tsz Wan Shan, providing daily services to Tsz Wan Shan and Kwun Tong in the late night and early morning respectively.
History[]
To meet passenger demand, KMB has proposed in the 2018-2019 Bus Route Planning Programme to introduce special late-night trips on Route 3D, which would follow the route of regular daytime trips and was expected to be implemented in the third quarter of 2018.
- 11 August 2018: Route N3D commenced service, running one-way from Kwun Tong (Yue Man Square) to Tsz Wan Shan (Central), with three trips at 00:45, 01:05 and 01:25 every night. [1]
- 30 March 2020: Due to the novel oronavirus pandemic outbreak, the headways were reduced to one departing at 01:10. [2]
- 14 April 2020: Changed to depart at 00:45 and 01:25. [3][4]
- 27 May 2020: Original headways were resumed.
- 3 April 2021: In conjunction with the opening of the new Yue Man Square Public Transport Interchange, the Kwun Tong Terminus was moved from Yue Man Square Temporary Terminus to the Bus Terminus part of the new PTI. Buses from the new terminus would return to Kwun Tong Road and the original routing through westbound Mut Wah Street and southbound Hong Ning Road. [5][6]
- 19 April 2021: Upgraded to two-way service, with new departures from Tsz Wan Shan (Central) to Kwun Tong (Yue Man Square) at 04:30 and 05:05 daily. [7]
- 29 August 2022: Reduced to one return trip each way with departure times at 00:45 and 05:05 from Kwun Tong (Yue Man Square) and Tsz Wan Shan (Central) respectively. [8]
