Hong Kong English/Cantonese (XXXIV)
Bus Route 11 in Hong Kong is Almost 100% Reliable
Let me tell you why
Hong Kong’s public transport is among the most convenient across the globe. Buses are our common mode to transport going to somewhere in the city. When even the Hong Kong-China border has bus service at proximity (all but one border crossing, but that one has trains), there are just a few places where roads are connected has no bus to go to.
Wait. We have “buses” for those places too.
Hong Kong’s bus route numbers are confusing. The local bus companies have their own systems for the numbering. We famously have three Route 1 in different regions of the city (Hong Kong’s Bus Wiki says more), but this isn’t what you’re meant to see today.
Instead, I’m going to tell you another bus route: Route 11.
If we talk about any bus routes in Hong Kong that has the first two-digit prime number, there would be roughly 15 because the companies love to put English letters in front of and/or after the number.
Still, Hong Kong’s bus route 11 can still get you from Central Ferry Piers to Jardine’s Lookout, from Diamond Hill to Kowloon Station, or from Tung Chung to Tai O.
