[edit] Corporate structure

PITCL was originally created as a joint venture company between a wholly owned subsidiary of the KMB Group (operator of Kowloon Motor Bus) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong & Kowloon Ferry Limited (HKKF). On 14 December 2005, HKKF divested its share of PITCL and PITCL became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Transport International Holdings Limited.

[edit] Bus

PITCL operates two bus routes:

The buses that operate in these two routes are ten second-hand Dennis Dart SLFs bought from KMB. In 2004, because of the rapid growth of residents in Park Island, the company bought new Dennis Dart SPDs from the UK and the very first Designline electronic-motivated HEV bus from New Zealand which is more environmentally friendly.
