KMB collaborates with MTR to provide a Bus-Rail Interchange concession for interchange between Route 78A [Queen’s Hill – Fanling Station (Circular)] and MTR starting from 15 May (Sunday). Together with the discount provided by KMB Fare Saver at Shan Lai Court in Queen’s Hill, passengers travelling to and from Queen’s Hill can save $3 for every round-trip. Furthermore, from 16 May (Monday), KMB will enhance the services of Routes 78A, 78K Special Departure [Sha Tau Kok → Fanling (Wah Ming)] and 270B [Sheung Shui ⇋ Olympic Station] to tie in with the passenger demands.
$1 Bus-Rail Interchange concession introduced on Route 78A
From 15 May (Sunday), Adult Octopus Card users taking Route 78A and entering the gate at MTR Fanling Station within 90 minutes, or taking Route 78A within 90 minutes after departing from MTR Fanling Station, may enjoy a $1 discount on their second trip.
The Bus-Rail Interchange concession can be combined with a fare discount offered at KMB Fare Saver. Passengers with their Octopus Card tapped at the Fare Saver located at Shan Lai Court, Queen’s Hill could enjoy the first $1 discount when using the same card to travel on Route 78A. They can then enjoy this new $1 Bus-Rail Interchange concession when entering MTR Fanling Station.
