The Kowloon Motor Bus Holdings Limited GROUP PROFILE The Kowloon Motor Bus Holdings Limited ("the Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, "the Group") is Hong Kong's largest public transport company, in terms of passenger volume, serving over three million passenger trips daily. The Group comprises six divisions: Franchised Public Bus Operations, Non-Franchised Transport Operations, Mainland Operations, Media Sales Business, Property Holdings and Internal Financial Services. The Group's wholly owned flagship, The Kowloon Motor Bus Company (1933) Limited ("KMB"), was founded 69 years ago to provide franchised public bus services in Hong Kong. KMB's fleet of over 4,300 buses serves some 400 routes covering Kowloon, the New Territories and, through the cross-harbour tunnels, Hong Kong Island. Another wholly owned subsidiary, Long Win Bus Company Limited ("LWB") was established in 1996. With a fleet of 160 buses, LWB operates 15 routes plying between the New Territories and the Hong Kong International Airport and North Lantau. Of the Group's some 14,000 staff at the end of 2001, about 8,800 and 2,500 are bus captains and maintenance staff respectively. KMB is the first public bus company and the fourth corporation in Hong Kong that is ISO certified throughout its entire organisation. Through its wholly own subsidiary, Sun Bus Holdings Limited ("SBH"), the Group operates non-franchised bus services in Hong Kong. The Group also has two co-operative joint ventures in the Mainland that provide public bus services in Dalian and Tianjin. In striving to become a leading multi-media provider in the out-of-home media market, RoadShow Holdings Limited ("RoadShow") was established by the Group in 2000. RoadShow is principally engaged in media sales services, media sales management and administrative services, and the merchandising businesses in Hong Kong. It has been separately listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited since 28 June 2001. The Group's corporate culture is one of service excellence and total customer satisfaction.

Cross-boundary Transport Hub at Siu Ho Wan Background Siu Ho Wan is strategically located close to the North Lantau Highway Connection (NLHC) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) and has the potential to serve as a transport interchange for cross-boundary traffic. A possible location of the cross-boundary transport hub is at MTR Siu Ho Wan Depot. The depot occupies 30 ha of land, with flexibility built into the design for retrofitting development above the depot. MTR access to Siu Ho Wan on the Tung Chung Line could be provided by the construction of an additional station, subject to Government’s approval for the station and authorization under the relevant Ordinance. The cross-boundary transport hub has the potential to be a major transport interchange, providing park-and-ride facilities, a MTR station and a public transport interchange.

  • Hong Kong's Largest Solar Farm at Siu Ho Wan Sewage Treatment Works
    HONG KONG’S LARGEST SOLAR FARM AT SIU HO WAN SEWAGE TREATMENT WORKS ABSTRACT The Drainages Services Department (DSD) commissioned the Hong Kong’s largest solar farm in Siu Ho Wan Sewage Treatment Works (SHWSTW) in December 2016, which was a new milestone in adoption of renewable energy technology in Hong Kong. Comprising over 4,200 no. polycrystalline photovoltaic (PV) panels, the solar farm in SHWSTW has an installed generation capacity of over 1,100 kilo-watt (kW). The annual electricity generation is estimated at 1,100,000 kilo-watt-hours (kWh), which is equivalent to 770 tonnes reduction of carbon dioxide emission per year. The electricity generated by the solar farm is connected to the internal power distribution network of SHWSTW for supplying electricity to its various equipment and systems, which accounts for approximately a quarter of annual electricity consumption of the plant. There are three major innovative designs in the solar farm. Firstly, all PV panels were fixed on pre- fabricated concrete blocks, which provide flexibility of relocating the whole or part of the system for future development of SHWSTW. Secondly, DSD introduced an intelligent Direct-Current (DC) combiner box for part of the solar farm as a pilot trial, which allows the plant operators to effectively locate any faulty PV panels in the solar farm occupying a footprint of 11,000 m2. Lastly, provisioning of the Solar Farm Monitoring Room makes available a centralized monitoring system for the operating staff and space for displaying panels and multimedia information for visitors to understand more on renewable energy technologies.
