To support the government's efforts to stimulate night-time economic activities, Citybus announced that starting from midnight on October 1 (Sunday), the fares of all 23 night N-line buses will be reduced by 50%. Passengers who pay their fares using Octopus cards or electronic payment instruments can enjoy this discount.
Citybus' move aims to encourage more people to use public transport late at night and promote night-time economic activities. By significantly reducing fares, the company hopes to make overnight bus travel more affordable and attractive to the public.
The move is part of the government’s wider strategy to revitalize the night-time economy, recognizing the potential to increase business opportunities and improve residents’ quality of life. Efforts to extend the opening hours of various businesses and provide enhanced transportation services are key components of the strategy.
In addition to fare reductions, Citybus will also adjust and increase bus services in conjunction with the Mid-Autumn Festival. On Friday 29 September, which coincides with the festive season, timetables on some bus routes will be adjusted to accommodate early completion of work and to facilitate travel for those celebrating the holiday.
In addition, a special bus route 173R will be added, running from Stanley to Tsim Sha Tsui East on the Mid-Autumn Festival evening. In addition, additional services will be provided on route X15 between Central Pier and The Peak during this period.
