KMB plans to increase the frequency of its pet-bus service after autumn and find routes to destinations ordinary vehicles struggle to reach, its commercial director Emily Cheung Yee Hang said. Lantau could prove a popular autumn destination, she said.

KMB said the service had carried nearly 30,000 passenger trips in its first two years.

The operator marked the service’s second anniversary with an event at Xisha GO PARK on 8 November, including an 800-metre pet run.

One participant said she carried her rabbit throughout the run rather than letting it touch the ground. She said it was the rabbit’s first trip far from home.
