The New Lantao Bus Company (1973) Limited (), commonly known as New Lantao Bus or NLB, is a franchised bus company operating in Hong Kong, primarily on Lantau Island. ==History== NLB was formed in 1973 through the merger of three bus companies operated by residents of Lantau Island, and became the third franchised bus company on 1 April 1974. In January 1992, NLB became a subsidiary of Kwoon Chung Bus Holdings, a company now partly owned by NWS Holdings, which is also the parent company of Citybus, New World First Bus, and New World First Ferry. All four transport operators are thus associated. NLB's franchise was extended on 1 April 1997 to run until 31 March 2007. It was extended again until 1 March 2017.〔(Consultation on requirements of new franchises for two franchised bus companies to end on September 16 ) Hong Kong Government 2 September 2014〕 Before the construction of Tung Chung New Town, almost all of NLB's routes terminated at Mui Wo. During that time when there were no major towns on the island, most of the company's routes aimed to connect the smaller villages to the ferry at Mui Wo. Currently, however, most routes terminate at Tung Chung and many of those that formerly terminated at Mui Wo have been discontinued. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Lantao Bus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
