• 23 June 2013, At around 3:00pm, a Dennis Trident (1XX) heading towards Tsuen Wan West Station was struck by a Dennis Dragon (AD203/GL9201) on Route 235 and a Dennis Trident (ATR) on Route 58M and hit the rear end of the vehicle at Castle Peak Road - Tsuen Wan.

Internet Incidents

• In November 2018, LWB hung a banner stating that Route A31 could take about 20 minutes to reach Maritime Square direct from the HZMB Hong Kong Port. However, Route A31 only stops at the Cheung On Bus Terminus on Tsing Yi Island, which is still some distance away from Maritime Square, causing dissatisfaction among passengers and residents of Tsing Yi, and the publicity was even alleged to be untrue. LWB subsequently removed the relevant publicity materials.
