If you look on the left side of the page, there are two buttons, "Bus" and "Bahn". If you press "Bahn" you can also view some historical regional trains

But they're way to big for us. Except for the rush houers when students go from or to school, the busses usually only carry the driver and two or three passengers :?

Our buses usually carry the driver and 20-25 passengers at non-peak times

They tend to have 4 wheels or more, quite a few seats inside and make a loud noise here...

Interesting stuff :twisted:

Got to love it when you ride long rides (about 50mins+) and roadshow (the TV program) repeats itself.

Not to mention if you take the bus 10 times a week, you watch the same programs ten times

But yea... buses in HK especially the newer ones are like Emirates to United, when compared with most other bus system. I love sleeping in them, especially in rainy days (or when the typoon signal is up

)

how frequently do they update the roadshow? The only downside of HKG is that their transport system is a little bit expensive, In Milan i pay about 170HKD per month (because Student) and can ride how many times i want 24/7 whether it's Bus,tram or subway/underground. London is also freaking expensive, I paid like 7 or 14 pounds just for a day. Transport in the US is really bad, especially in Los Angeles. I bought this unlimited ride ticket then i discovered that i still needed to pay on some rides.
