Wan Tau Tong Bus Terminus (運頭塘巴士總站, Citybus Location Code WTT, whereas KMB and LWB Location Code 運頭) is located at the junction of Fung Wan Road and Yat Nga Lane in Wan Tau Tong Estate, Tai Po Market, Tai Po District, New Territories. It is an open-air space next to Hang Wai, with a parallel platform design, and a taxi station beside it.

History

Wan Tau Tong Estate, which was completed in 1991, is located south of the MTR Tai Po Market Station. It is one of the public housing estates in the Tai Po District.

The bus terminus was opened on November 29, 1991, but it was not until January 27 of the following year that KMB Route 74A started using the terminus, marking the introduction of franchised bus service.

However, the population of Wan Tau Tong Estate, along with the nearby Tak Nga Court, King Nga Court, and Yat Nga Court, is not large, and since it is adjacent to Tai Po Market Station, there has never been a full-day bus route at the terminus. Currently, only the special service of KMB Route 74X and four minibus routes use the terminus.
