To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a bus parade cum exhibition will be organised by the Transport Department from 19 to 22 October 2024 to engage with the public to witness the development of bus services to celebrate the National Day. The bus parade cum exhibition will feature buses from the past and present.
Co-organising the event, three franchised bus operators will present different types of bus models respectively in the parade to be held on the morning of 19 October. They will depart from the Victoria Park in Causeway Bay for Central Ferry Piers along the northern shore of Hong Kong Island. Members of the public are welcome to share the fun along the route across districts.
A four-day exhibition, which will be held from 19 to 22 October at the soccer pitches of Victoria Park, will feature a number of retired and in-service buses (including the newly-introduced new energy buses) as well as various kinds of bus service-related memorabilia that marked the development of franchised buses in Hong Kong since 1949. Members of the public are welcome to visit and take photos.
Admission for the Bus Exhibition is free. Members of the public may register and pre-book the date and time slot of their visits through Cityline (www.cityline.com) from 11am on 20 September 2024. Quotas are limited and will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.
