History[]
KMB had proposed to operate a new route 32D running between Shek Wai Kok and Kwai Shing in the "1982-83 Bus Route Development Programme"; however, Transport Department (TD) considered that there was insufficient demand for the route, and proposed to provide an additional Green Minibus route instead.[1]

- Circa 1995: The above short-working trips are independently numbered as "94A".
- 17 January 2004: At around 2:00 pm, both directions were detoured via Lei Muk Shue Estate Public Transport Interchange opened on the same day.[4]
