KMB Launches "Pet Bus Tour" Service
Hong Kong, this bustling metropolis, is not only a paradise for humans but is also becoming a haven for pets. The "Pet Bus Tour" launched by The Kowloon Motor Bus Company (1933) Limited ("KMB") in collaboration with Hoi Dai Travel is the latest embodiment of this concept.
This innovative service, starting from October 13, 2026, will offer a unique travel experience for pets and their owners every weekend and public holiday, allowing them to explore various pet-friendly attractions in Hong Kong together on a double-decker bus.

Pet Bus Tour: Hong Kong's New Pet-Friendly Travel Experience
The launch of this service not only provides pet owners with an opportunity to enjoy quality time with their beloved pets but also demonstrates KMB's commitment to community responsibility. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to animal welfare organizations to support their work in animal care and promoting pet-friendly communities.
The "Pet Bus Tour" offers a rich and diverse itinerary, from Sha Tin to Tsuen Wan, then to Pak Shek Kok, Sai Kung, West Kowloon Cultural District, and Ma Wan. Each destination is carefully selected to ensure that both pets and owners can enjoy the best travel experience. These locations not only provide ample space for pets to roam freely but also feature facilities designed specifically for pets, such as pet parks, waterfront promenades, and pet zones.
For convenient booking and planning, KMB has launched an online ticketing platform, which opened for service on October 9. Pet owners can easily register online and choose the itinerary that best suits them and their pets. Each trip costs HK$35, valid for one passenger and one pet, and KMB Club1933 members can enjoy a discount.
To ensure a safe and pleasant journey, KMB and Hoi Dai Travel have also established a set of guidelines for pet bus travel, ensuring that every passenger and their furry friends are well taken care of during the trip. In addition, the first participants of the "Pet Bus Tour" will receive souvenirs as a token of appreciation for their support in promoting pet-friendly communities.
