The Queens Hill Public Transport Terminus (皇后山公共交通總站 , Citybus Location Code QUH, whereas KMB and LWB Location Code 后山)[1] is an enclosed sawtooth bus terminus located opposite to Wong Yee House (皇頤樓) of Queen's Hill Estate at Lung Ma Road, Queen's Hill, North District, New Territories, and in the middle of Wong Shun House (皇順樓) and TWGHs Tseng Hin Pei Primary School (東華三院曾憲備小學). It is a ring-shaped sawtooth terminus.
History[]
Queen's Hill is located to the south of Sha Tau Kok Road near Lung Yeuk Tau. Formerly a barracks of the British Forces, Queen's Hill is now home to Queen's Hill Estate, a public rental housing estate, and Shan Lai Court, a Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) estate, which would be ready for occupation in 2021. A public transport interchange will be provided in the area to cater for the traffic demand generated by the project.
The closed area of the terminus came into effect at 05:30 on 18 January 2022[1] and was delayed for about a week to 26 January 2022 before public transport routes came into operation, including KMB Routes 78A, 278A and Citybus Routes 78X, 79X moving in from Shan Lai Court, and the early morning of the following day when Route N78 would make a round-trip detour; among the routes terminating at the stop, the Queen's Hill bound routes would first drop off their passengers there, and then turn around at the roundabout and return to Shan Lai Court stop then terminate the journey back at this stop, and at the same time, the relevant routes would no longer stop at the intermediate stops of "Queen's Hill Bus Terminus" on both sides of Lung Ma Road. Starting from the same day, two cross-harbour routes 679 and 979 of Citybus commenced service, departing from this stop and travelling to Central (Hong Kong Station) via Eastern Harbour Crossing and Western Harbour Crossing respectively.
