EP58 香港巴士新舊交融：單層與雙層的故事 Hong Kong Buses: The Story of Single‑decker and Double‑decker buses

曾經是香港巴士服務支柱的單層巴士，因市民的需求增加及道路狀況改善，而漸漸被雙層巴士取代。另一邊廂，雖然香港的雙層巴士車隊規模位於全球前列，但在這個城市某些角落，部份路線因無法放寬的路面限制或特別原因，至今仍只可使用單層巴士。這個互相補足的關係，令香港巴士的車型多姿多采。 今年3月及4月，兩條巴士路線先後加入雙層巴士，打破一直只用單層巴士的界限。首先，多年來受山頂纜車橋高度限制的城巴12A號線，獲派高度4.17米的Enviro400，令這條開國功臣相隔近30年後再度出現雙層巴士，並有助舒緩麥當勞道繁忙時段的交通需求。其次，近年出現雙層巴士的馬灣，島上餘下的珀麗灣客運也終於購入雙層巴士，並投放於往返中環的NR338S號線，以提升路線整體的運載力。 今集除了會介紹上述兩條路線轉用雙層巴士的故事外，同時會帶大家探索至今仍只使用單層巴士的市區路線。這次拍攝不但讓我探索香港更多地方，也可以細味不同款式的單層巴士，單層及雙層巴士的結合才是香港巴士的醍醐味。請細心欣賞！ Single‑decker buses once were the backbone of Hong Kong’s bus service. Yet as demand grew and road conditions improved, they were gradually replaced by double‑decker buses. On the other hand, Hong Kong’s double‑decker fleets are now one of the largest in the world, while in some places of the city, certain routes still can only use single‑decker fleets because of strict road limits or special reasons. This balance makes Hong Kong bus fleets rich and diverse. In March and April this year, two bus routes added double-decker fleets, breaking the limitation of only using single‑decker fleets. First, being limited by the Peak Tram Bridge height for many years, Citybus Route 12A Now can use Enviro400 with a height of 4.17m, in which this “founding route” finally has double‑deck buses again After almost 30 years, and help to relieve the high demand on MacDonnell Road. Second, , Park Island Transport in Ma Wan finally bought double‑deck buses, and they were allocated on Route NR338S for Central, raising the overall capacity. In this episode, I will not only talk about the stories for Route 12A and NR338S that changed to use double‑decker buses but will also explore the routes that still use only single‑deck buses in the urban area. This filming lets me discover more places in Hong Kong and also enjoy different types of single‑decker buses. The combination of single‑decker and double‑decker buses is the true charm of Hong Kong Buses.
