Hong Kong To-do: edit purge Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box". We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.) Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] older entries

Hello, the major additions to the Citybus page was made by me in August 13. If there are any questions to some routes posted, feel free to ask. Also, thanks for others who helped to contribute to the page. I am happy that this page is being viewed more and more since I gave new light to this page. (Before that, it was barely 8 lines.)-Carsonley

Thanks for the people who helped contribute to the page. The Non Franchised section is excellent. I like the other additions made by others. If anyone can add even more information and PICTURES. That will be great. Again, your help is very much appreciated. Thanks and enjoy the content I have posted and other content other people have posted. (I added the route info and added info on Cityflyer and Disneyland routes, etc.)Right now, I am planning for a MAJOR (route + some other stuff) update in New World First Bus Hong Kong, but I will need the time to do it. Also, if you liked this page, then visit the Cityflyer Hong Kong page. I created the page, but anyone can add to it. But for now, enjoy the Citybus page!- Thanks again Carsonley (September 7, 2005)

Hello, I am Carsonley again, Then again, someone has already done the dirty work on New World First Bus. So, I guess that I don't need to update it. Maybe KMB page, but if its updated... I checked it and it might need some flavor. Anyone who can help on this page is appreciated. Also, WE NEED MORE PICTURES! I have done most of the page, but WE NEED MORE PICTURES. Without many pictures, this page doesn't mean very much. Can you please cooperate me in this matter. I'll appreciate it very much! Again- Carsonley.

Thanks ADS190, for updating the Citybus page. Also for those who are trying to reach me, here is my page. Carsonley. Again I appreciate this very much. Also look at Long Win Bus page. I gave new light to that page as well. If possible try to find pictures for that pages and THIS page of course! Thanks. Carsonley Updated in (September 15, 2005)

[edit] Some suggestions on the stucture and content

Hello. I have some comments on this articles (may be as well as the articles for NWFB and KMB).

I think the articles has placed too much emphasis on some facts, i.e. the routes! The routes as become the major part of the article. However I think this is quite redundant as it can be found here with accurate and updated information.(sorry for those who worked hard on this table). But I really think that wikipedia should not focus on such facts, which wastes time on updating. Instead, I think we should pay more focus on the history (esp. those not listed on the official homepage), the factors of Citybus's subccess, how Citybus leads in the evolution of bus industry, etc. I think these should be what an encyclopedia should contain.

What do you think? -- Spring Dennis 10:50, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

It is important to list the routes either way. Sure, it would be better to talk more about the company Citybus itself, but keep the routes! User:Carsonley
