According to the Transport Department's "Schedule of Services", this route requires a total of 4 minibuses to provide service and the total passenger capacity in each direction during the peak hour is not less than 96.
Currently this route and Routes 50K, 51B and 51K is operated by a total of 29 Toyota Coaster minibuses, including 6 16-seater minibuses and 23 19-seater minibuses.
This route once used 3rd generation Toyota Coaster diesel minibuses. As this batch of minibuses grew older in 2018, the operator bought the newest 19-seater LPG minibuses to replace some part of 16-seater minibuses. In addition, minibuses from other series of routes, such as those on order from Golden Way New Territories Route 55K, may be borrowed and dispatched onto these routes. [1]
