LWB Route E33P

Sign in to edit

The North Lantau External Bus Route E33P is operated by Long Win Bus (LWB). It runs between Siu Hong Station (South) and Airport (Ground Transportation Centre), which passes through Fu Tai Estate, Siu Hong Court, Tuen Mun Hospital, Leung Tin, Shan King Estate, Tuen Mun Swimming Pool and Siu Shan Court before taking the Tuen Mun Chek Lap Kok Tunnel Road to and from Tung Chung Town Centre and Airport Logistics Area.

Deriving from the first generation of Route A33, Route E33P initially operated only during the morning and afternoon peak hours, with a few trips from Tuen Mun and the Airport respectively. It has since become popular with residents along the route and the service hours have been extended. At present, the service has been upgraded to operate during daily daytime for Airport bound and daily afternoon for Tuen Mun bound.

History[]

Since the new airport commenced operations in July 1998, Tuen Mun District has only been served by Route E33 connecting Tuen Mun Town Centre, On Ting Estate, Yau Oi Estate and neighbouring housing estates, which had remained unchanged for many years. Passengers from other areas have long endured the inconvenience of first taking the Light Rail to the town centre before transferring to Route E33. Although LWB introduced Route A33 in August 2002, operating only during peak hours and providing direct service to Hong Kong International Airport, this route neither served Tung Chung nor the Airport Logistics Area. Coupled with its high fares, the route consistently suffered from low ridership and the Tuen Mun District Council has persistently advocated for the introduction of a new route over the years.

After prolonged advocacy and waiting, the prospect of a new route gradually emerged over six years later. In the 2008-2009 Bus Route Development Programme, the Transport Department proposed a new bus route connecting Siu Hong Station and the Airport[1], effectively replacing the section of Route A33 previously serving Fu Tai Estate to Tuen Mun Swimming Pool. Consequently, with a slightly higher mileage, the fare level is also marginally higher than other LWB North Lantau External Routes.

  • June 2020: The occupancy rate during the peakiest hour was 79%.[33]

Controversies[]

As Route E33 does not serve Tuen Mun Ferry Pier Area, Leung Tin and Siu Hong, numerous residents and District Council members have persistently advocated for upgrading this service to full-day operation over many years.[34] However, despite proposals to maintain 30-minute intervals during off-peak periods, LWB has shown little enthusiasm, repeatedly rejecting the suggestion on grounds of insufficient fleet capacity.[35][36]

Following extensive discussions within the District Council, the 2015-2016 Bus Route Planning Programme ultimately proposed a phased extension of service hours for this route. This would extend morning services into midday and evening periods, facilitating commutes for local residents and travellers to the Airport Logistics Area or the Passenger Terminal Buildings. However, LWB claimed existing services adequately met demand and refused to extend operating hours, rendering the originally proposed second phase of extended services (scheduled for Q4 2015) indefinitely delayed.[37] Coupled with persistent calls for full-day operation on this route, the District Council subsequently demanded the revocation of the franchises for both the E33 and this route.[38]

Coinciding with the 2016-2017 Bus Route Planning Programme proposing full-day service for Route A33, Tuen Mun District Council members questioned whether LWB intended to replace this route with A33's extended service, though the operator denied such plans.[39] It was not until August 2016 that the Transport Department formally confirmed implementation of the second and third phases of extended service hours in the third quarter of that year[40], with the arrangements ultimately taking effect on 19 September and 12 December respectively.

Despite Long Win having extended this route's service hours on multiple occasions, numerous District Council members continue to advocate for upgrading it to full-day, two-way operation.[41] Commencing 28 December 2020, as part of the first phase route realignment following the opening of the Tuen Mun Chek Lap Kok Tunnel Road, Route E33 was rerouted via Lung Mun Road and the new tunnel and consequently, residents of San Shek Wan and the western Tuen Mun Ferry Pier area finally gained access to a direct bus service operating daily throughout the day between Tung Chung and the Airport Logistics Area.

Related incidents[]

  • 9 June 2013: At approximately 6:00 pm, a Dennis Trident (201/HT7555) travelling towards Siu Hong Railway Station collided with a tree branch along Ming Kum Road, resulting in a male passenger sustaining head injuries.[42]
  • 30 September 2017: At approximately 11:00 pm, an Enviro500 (8416/PD6710) travelling towards Siu Hong Station collided with the rear of a medium goods vehicle at the roundabout near Airport Freight Forwarding Centre on Chun Wan Road South. The bus sustained severe damage to its front end, with the left side of the vehicle body sheared open. One male and one female passenger were injured in the incident.[43]
  • 21 December 2023: At approximately 4:00 pm, a Volvo B8L (UV6X40/XT8647) travelling towards Airport collided with the right-hand mirror of a semi-trailer truck in the left lane while turning left from the centre lane onto Lung Mun Road via Wu Shan Road with the bus subsequently reversed and turned the wheel. Neither driver alighted to assess the situation before departing the scene.[44]
