Fleet

Further information: Kowloon Motor Bus fleet

In December 2008, Kowloon Motor Bus has a fleet of 3,933 buses with 3,805 double-deckers and more than 95% of the double-deck fleet is air-conditioned. All of the buses comply with Euro emission standards, making KMB the largest environment-friendly bus operator in Hong Kong.

The KMB Fleet is allocated and spread across four major depots across Kowloon and the New Territories and is identified by letter (either K, L, S or U). These letters are placed on the bottom left of the driver's windscreen, although some of the buses in the fleet still have the letter placed under the windscreen.

  • K: Kowloon Bay Depot
  • L: Lai Chi Kok (Stonecutter's Island) Depot
  • S: Sha Tin (Siu Lek Yuen) Depot
  • U: Formerly Un Long (Yuen Long) Depot, currently Tuen Mun Depot
