Cityflyer is an airport coach service to Hong Kong International Airport and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge provided by Citybus (Hong Kong). The service was started during the opening of the Hong Kong International Airport in 1998.

Fleet

At the time of the opening of Hong Kong International Airport in 1998, the fleet consisted of 62 Dennis Trident 3 double decker buses (fleet numbers 2100-2161), of which 11 had Alexander ALX500 bodies and the other 51 had Duple Metsec DM5000 bodies. 10 MAN NL262/R single deckers (fleet number 1560 - 1569) were added to the fleet in 2006 for use in route A10.

Two urban-specification Alexander Dennis Enviro500s (8203-8204) joined the fleet in 2011, and were repainted with Cityflyer livery but retained its normal seats which differ from the high backed coach seats of the other buses. They have since been reverted to normal Citybus livery in 2013. However, another three urban-specification buses (8205-8207) joined the fleet in 2012 with Cityflyer livery and still remain in the Cityflyer fleet today.

From 2013 to 2014, the Dennis Tridents were replaced by 66 new Enviro500 MMC buses (8000-8065). The MAN NL262/R were withdrawn in 2016, and subsequently replaced by longer 12.8 metre Enviro500 MMC (6800-6811). Further orders (6812-6843) were delivered in 2017-2018 to cope with rising passenger numbers on existing routes and the added passenger flows from the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge.

In 2018, the size of the fleet is 113 buses.

Routes

Cityflyer operates Airport Routes A10, A11, A12, A20 (Effective from 20/3/2017), A21, A22, A29, A29P, NA21 and NA29. The Cityflyer service is rival to the Long Win Bus service provided by Kowloon Motor Bus.

On 28 November 2005, Transport Department (TD) of Hong Kong invited tenders for new airport route plying between Hong Kong Southern District and Airport via Mount Davis Road and Kennedy Town, requiring the bus deployed must be shorter than 11 metres due to road restrictions of Mount Davis Road.[1] On 23 January 2006, TD announced that Citybus had won the tender, with the route number A10, which the fare was set as HK$48, overriding A12 as the most expensive local bus route in the whole Hong Kong. This new route has entered service on 26 March 2006. 10 MAN NL262/R single deckers (fleet number 1560 - 1569) were upgraded to Cityflyer standard, including luggage racks and 33 seats which are as same as the double deckers, for use on the new route. This is the only Cityflyer route operated dominantly by single deckers.[2][3]
