Ridership[]

The route runs along the east bank of the Shing Mun River through the north and south of Sha Tin, passing the Shatin Hospital, Shek Mun and many housing estates and schools, and is crowded with passengers from morning to night. Although the Ma On Shan Rail (now part of the Tuen Ma Line) was commissioned at the end of 2004, the number of passengers did not fluctuate too much as they had to interchange or walk for at least 20 minutes to travel to and from Hin Tin at that time.

However, after the commissioning of the Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 in 2020, Hin Tin residents will be able to walk to Hin Keng Station and take the MTR directly. According to minibus drivers who drive this route, the number of passengers has dropped by nearly two-thirds, and the frequency of trips has been reduced from the usual four-minute trips to 10-minute trips.[3]
