KMB has been continuously enhancing bus services in Tseung Kwan O.

It was split into two separate routes – Tseung Kwan O to Shek Mun and Tseung Kwan O to Ma On Shan. KMB has been awarded to operate both routes after the tendering procedures. Routes 90 [Tseung Kwan O (Choi Ming) ⇋ Shek Mun Estate] and 97 [Tseung Kwan O (Hong Sing Garden) ⇋ Wu Kai Sha Station] will commence service next Monday (3 October).
