Annual Report 2025

33 2025 Annual Report Transport International Holdings Limited Hong Kong Franchised Public Bus Operations Hong Kong Non-franchised Transport Operations Chinese Mainland Transport Operations Property Holdings and Development Passengers Rewards To enhance value for passengers, the KMB Monthly Pass Scheme was extended to include LWB bus routes. Holders can use the Pass on LWB-operated E-, N-, S-, R- and X-routes and enjoy a 73% off fare discount for LWB A- and NA-routes, thereby gaining access to a bus network connecting various boundary control points. To encourage greater utilisation of the LWB network for journeys to and from boundary control points, LWB introduced an additional fare concession scheme alongside the existing joint discount scheme with KMB – the “Ride 2 Journeys, Get 1 Journey Free” promotion. In March 2025, LWB cooperated with Lok Ma Chau – Huanggang Cross-boundary Shuttle Bus (“Huang Bus”) to provide passengers with an alternative travel option between North Lantau, Fanling and Chinese Mainland. A new discounted interchange scheme was introduced for passengers interchanging between LWB Routes A43P or NA43 and Huang Bus, offering a discount equivalent to one free Huang Bus trip. Passengers can enjoy seamless discounted bus connections at any time, whether travelling from the Airport to Chinese Mainland, heading from Chinese Mainland to the Airport for flights, or, in the case of local residents, commuting between North Lantau and Chinese Mainland for work or leisure. High Demand for Boundary Route Services LWB’s customer base mainly comprises tourists and individuals engaged in tourism-related activities. Throughout 2025, LWB’s operations benefited from sustained strong demand for boundary route services driven by residents’ outbound trips, particularly during long holidays and amid an influx of visitors via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (“HZMB”) Hong Kong Port from Chinese Mainland. Bus Service Network – Complete Integration of A-Routes with HZMB At the end of 2025, LWB operated 44 routes. Amid a rising number of visitors, demand for transport to and from the HZMB Hong Kong Port and Hong Kong International Airport surged. To meet this rising demand, LWB strengthened its services, particularly in the HZMB area, by introducing special trips on Route A43P for residents of Queen’s Hill, and on Route A41P to Sai Sha Residences, and by extending the operating hours of routes serving the HZMB Hong Kong Port to provide all-day services. The extension of Route A33 to the HZMB Hong Kong Port in December also marked the full integration of all LWB A-routes with the Hong Kong Port of the Bridge. To cater for the commuting needs of Tuen Mun passengers working at the Airport, LWB launched new services, Routes E36C and NA52, in 2025. These new routes have since enhanced connectivity between Tuen Mun and Chek Lap Kok, serving passengers across various areas of Tuen Mun. LWB routes serve various districts across the New Territories, offering residents and visitors direct access to the Airport and the HZMB Hong Kong Port The new LWB Route E36C serves the Aircraft Maintenance Area, offering convenient commuting for passengers travelling between Yuen Long, Tuen Mun and Airport Logistics Area
