Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Cross Boundary Shuttle Bus unveiled

A facelifted MAN A95 bus for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Cross Boundary Shuttle Bus has been spotted being assembled at Gemilang Coachworks.

One unit has been identified, bearing a gold livery. The characters “港珠澳” at the front indicate Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau – the three major cities served by the new Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge which is expected to open in 2018, carrying road traffic only.

A contract to operate cross-boundary shuttle bus services was jointly issued by the transport departments of Hong Kong, Macau and China and awarded to a single consortium of three companies each based in the three regions – Zhuhai Yueyun Transportation Co, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Shuttle Bus Services and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Land Transportation (Macao) Corp.

As reported in the hkitalk forums in December 2017, three bus models will be procured for the cross-boundary shuttle. The first two are Euro VI Scania K250UB and Euro V MAN ND363F while the third model is yet to be confirmed. A total of around 90 buses will be purchased.

The MAN ND363F undergoing assembly at Gemilang is fitted with the MAN Lion’s City DD bodywork supplied and assembled by Gemilang Coachworks, licensed by MAN. The exterior bears a striking resemblance to the 122 Facelifted MAN A95 buses ordered by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) in 2016, featuring identical bodywork styling elements. There also appears to be a third door located on the right side of the bus which could be a result of differing traffic arrangements. In Hong Kong and Macau traffic drives on the left, while in China it drives on the right.

港珠澳大橋穿梭巴士曝光

日前一輛港珠澳跨境穿梭巴士的MAN A95巴士正在Gemilang Coachworks組裝,在香港曝光。港珠澳大桥穿梭巴士车型为猛狮A95双层巴士,车身颜色为金色配上圆点图案,车头更是有显眼的“港珠澳”三字。

使用港珠澳大橋的旅客可選擇乘坐口岸穿梭巴士、跨境巴士或跨境出租車來往三地。其中,口岸穿梭巴士為大橋三地口岸間的主要交通工具,繁忙時間的基本班次為每5分鍾一班,非繁忙時間為每10至20分鍾一班。

旅客可在香港不同地區乘坐多種本地公共交通工具,包括專營巴士、專線小巴、的士及非專營巴士前往大橋香港口岸。大橋香港口岸亦會提供不少於650個停車位給予香港本地非跨境私家車停泊。旅客在使用公共交通或私家車抵達香港口岸後,便可轉乘口岸穿梭巴士前往珠海及澳門口岸。

香港,澳門和中國的運輸部門聯合發布了一項經營跨境穿梭巴士服務的合同,並授予一個由三個公司組成的聯合體 – 珠海粵運公司、港珠澳大橋、澳門大橋穿梭巴士服務及港珠澳陸路運輸(澳門)公司。

2017年12月的hkitalk論壇內揭露了相關機構將採購三款巴士車型。前兩款是歐洲VI斯堪尼亞K250UB和歐洲V MAN ND363F,而第三款車型尚未確認。總共將購買大約90輛巴士。

在Gemilang進行組裝的MAN ND363F配備了由MAN授權的Gemilang Coachworks供應和組裝的MAN Lion’s City車身。外觀與2016年陸路交通管理局(LTA)訂購的122輛Facelifting MAN A95巴士驚人相似,具有相同的車身造型元素。位於公共汽車右側的第三扇門可能是由於不同的交通安排造成的。在香港和澳門的左邊行使,而在中國內地則為右側。
