From 21 August 2021 (Sunday), KMB will enhance the bus service of Route 5D (Telford Gardens — Hung Hom [Circular]). After passing through Kai Tak, the route will divert to Shing Kai Road instead of passing through Prince Edward Road East and Ma Tau Chung Road, which have a high traffic flow. Travelling between To Kwa Wan and Kai Tak takes about five minutes. The service hours will also be extended, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. The full fare of $6.2 will remain unchanged.
Diverted via Shing Kai Road
various bus stops will be changed accordingly
After departing from Telford Gardens, Route 5D will follow its original routeing to Kowloon Bay Sports Ground, Kai Yip, Richland Gardens, Kai Tak Kai Ching Estate, Tak Long Estate, and then will divert via Shing Kai Road to To Kwa Wan.
