PITCL was established in 2002 as a joint venture between Hong Kong & Kowloon Ferry and Transport International (then known as Kowloon Motor Bus Holdings).[1] In 2009, the business was sold to Sun Hung Kai Properties.[2]
PITCL currently operates four bus routes:[3]
The following routes were handed over to Sun Bus on 15 December 2019
PITCL commenced with six-second-hand Dennis Dart SLFs transferred from Kowloon Motor Bus. Between 2003 and 2008, due to the rapid growth of residents in Park Island, the company bought new Dennis Dart SPDs and the very first DesignLine Olymbus electronic-motivated HEV bus from New Zealand. The three DesignLine buses were withdrawn in 2008/2010.
