The Transport Department (TD) today (May 17) announced that starting from June 1, 2019, Kwoon Chung Inclusive and Accessible Transport Services Company Limited will operate the Rehabus Feeder Service.
The Rehabus Feeder Service operates a total of 10 hospital routes to 17 hospitals, with fixed routes and schedules, serving passengers with mobility difficulties (including the elderly) and their minders. Apart from designated stops, the feeder service may, upon users' request, stop at any points along the routes which are safe for boarding or alighting. No advance booking is required. To facilitate persons with mobility difficulties to commute to tourist attractions in Hong Kong at weekends and on public holidays, the feeder service also operates two recreational routes to/from Stanley, the Big Buddha and Tai O. Advance booking is required.
In December 2018, the TD invited interested and qualified applicants to submit proposals for operating the Rehabus Feeder Service. Kwoon Chung Inclusive and Accessible Transport Services Company Limited was selected as the service operator after the selection process, which will operate the 12 rehabuses provided by the TD.
Details of the Rehabus Feeder Service are available on the website (www.kcbh.com.hk/rehabus.php). For enquiries and advance booking of the weekend recreational route service provided from June 1 onwards, users can contact Kwoon Chung Inclusive and Accessible Transport Services Company Limited at 2979 8777.
The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation will continue to operate the Rehabus Scheduled Route and Dial-a-Ride Services. The TD has provided users with the latest information regarding the new operator of the Rehabus Feeder Service through various channels and will co-ordinate and monitor to ensure the smooth transition for the Rehabus Feeder Service.
