Buses That We Don't Have Current Details For
Check List - buses that we don't have current details for The main lists on our website show the details of the many thousands of open top buses that currently exist throughout the world, and those that are listed as either scrapped or for scrap. However, there are a number of buses in our database that we don’t have current details for, that could still exist or have been scrapped. The buses listed on this page are those that we need to confirm the location and status of. These buses do not appear on any of our other lists, so if you're looking for a particular vehicle, it could be here. Please have a look at this page and if you can update any of it, even if only a small piece of information that helps to determine where a bus is now, then please contact us using the link button on the Front Page. The buses are divided into lists in Chassis manufacturer order. ? REG NO / LICENCE PLATE CHASSIS BODY STATUS/LAST KNOWN OWNER J2374 ? ?

NWFB and Citybus Launch App 4.2 Elevating Customer Experience with Brand New Functions
NWFB and Citybus Launch App 4.2 Elevating Customer Experience with Brand New Functions （1 June 2021, Hong Kong） New World First Bus (“NWFB”) and Citybus App 4.2 is now available. The new version comes with brand new functions and landing page design, elevating customer experience. Estimated Time of Arrival (“ETA”) of All Franchised Bus Routes and 75 Green Minibus Routes in Hong Kong The new version enhances the ETA function with next three arrivals within 60 minutes of other public transports, including Kowloon Motor Bus, Long Win Bus, New Lantao Bus and 75 green minibus routes (to be further enriched as “DATA.GOV.HK” expands coverage in future). Besides, it will exclusively display the actual distance between current location of travelling NWFB/ Citybus and the selected bus stop, and pop an alert message to our users when delay is detected or the bus cannot continue its journey, so that customers are more informed of real time bus status. Offline Route Search Function Offline route search function is introduced in the App 4.2; customers are able to search basic bus route information and nearby franchised bus and green minibus routes without internet access. Enhanced ETA by Destination Function The system will suggest direct bus routes from user current location to the selected destination with an order of walking distance, as well as their ETA to the nearest bus stop. If there is no direct bus route nearby, the system will suggest an interchange combination of the routes of NWFB and Citybus utilizing the point-to-point search function automatically.

Interim Report
The University of Hong Kong Faculty of Engineering Department of Computer Science COMP4801 Final Year Project 2018/19 Interim Report Topic: Utilising Smartphone Application Data Student: Wong San Yu (3035273022) Supervisor: Dr T.W. Chim Submission Date: 20th January, 2019 Utilising Smartphone Application Data Progress Report 2 Abstract Waiting for buses have become easier with bus companies introducing their own smartphone applications (apps) for passengers to check when do the buses arrive. However, apps from different companies do not read each other’s data so that passengers have to open two or more apps for checking bus arrival times. That could lead to undesired results such as missing a bus when opening another app to check arrival time. This paper describes the early research stage of a tool that integrates bus arrival time data from different bus companies. The goal of the tool is to retrieve arrival time data from different servers and show them to user in an all-in-one manner. In the current stage, it is now possible to retrieve data from Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB)’s server without using the company’s app, by directly communicating with the server using APIs. The logic of retrieving ETA from New World First Bus and Citybus is also found. Next step is to discover a working method to directly retrieve NWFB/Citybus’s bus arrival times. In the future, this tool might grow into an app which gathers all available public transport arrival time data such that it can make users’ life easier. 2 Utilising Smartphone Application Data Progress Report 2 Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................
