Minibus deployments[]

According to Transport Department's Schedule of Services, this route is served by a total of 11 minibuses, including 1 19-seater minibus, and has a total capacity of not less than 384 passengers per direction during the busiest hour.

The third generation Toyota Coaster diesel minibuses registered between 1996 and 1997 were once the main fleet of this route (there was only one 2000 4th generation Toyota Coaster with the plate number JY2086 which only served on this route during peak hours), and thus the vehicles on this route was more older then the same series Kowloon Routes 8/8S, which made it one of the "retirement routes among Kowloon Urban GMB routes.

Until May 2013, the 4th generation Toyota Coaster (most of the vehicle was changed as the newest diesel minibuses) from King On Transportation's New Territories Route 313 were shifted to this route to replace part of the third generation Toyota Coasters registered between 1996 and 1997. In mid-2014, the newest 6th generation Toyota Coaster diesel minibuses joined this route to replace the 3rd generation minibuses, and the 7th generation Coaster diesel minibus joined this route on 2017 to replace the fourth generation minibuses sold from Route 313.

Currently Kowloon Routes 3 and 8 series under Hop Fat Light Bus have a total of 42 Toyota Coaster diesel minibuses, including 14 16-seater minibuses and 28 19-seater minibuses.
