Long Win Bus

Long Win Bus is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Long Win Bus rather than just read about it. In short: Long Win Bus Company Limited (LWB; Chinese: 龍運巴士) is a bus company operating franchised services in Hong Kong. It provides bus service between Hong Kong International Airport, North Lantau New Town and the New Territories.

Key takeaways

Long Win Bus belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Long Win Bus to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Long Win Bus from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Long Win Bus Company Limited (LWB; Chinese: 龍運巴士) is a bus company operating franchised services in Hong Kong. It provides bus service between Hong Kong International Airport, North Lantau New Town and the New Territories. It is a subsidiary of Transport International.

History

Long Win Bus began operations on 22 May 1997, operating peak-hour services after the opening of the Tsing Ma Bridge. The first route operated by Long Win Bus was route E31 (Tung Chung to Tsuen Wan Pier when newly introduced), served by Volvo Olympians. But later on, Volvo Olympians have been retired from the bus fleet, and were transferred to its parent company, Kowloon Motor Bus. The company's franchise was extended from June 2003 to May 2013. In April 2012, it was extended again until May 2023. In July 2022, it was further extended for another 10 years until 30 April 2033.

Services As of December 2023, Long Win Bus operated 42 routes which cover the Airport, Tung Chung, Hong Kong Disneyland and AsiaWorld–Expo. The current letter assignments are in place to identify the type of bus service provided:

Numbering system A30-A39, E30-E39: Routes serving the Western New Territories, including Kwai Tsing District, Tsuen Wan District, Tuen Mun District and Yuen Long District A40-A49, E40-E49: Routes serving the Eastern New Territories, including Sha Tin District, Tai Po District and the North District, does not serve Sai Kung District due to the franchise currently being with Citybus

Prefixes A: Airport routes. Provides deluxe bus services to and from Hong Kong International Airport and Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge Hong Kong Port. E: External routes. Provides regular bus services serving the Airport Logistics Area and Tung Chung. R: Routes serving Hong Kong Disneyland. S: Shuttle routes. Provides regular bus services running between Tung Chung and the general Airport area. N: Overnight routes. Same class as E-prefix routes NA: Overnight airport routes: Same class as A-prefix routes X: Routes operated after big events at AsiaWorld–Expo.

Suffixes A: Branch of the main route (e.g., E36A) C: Routes serving the Airport Logistics Area only, with all routes terminating at the Aircraft Maintenance Area. Same class as E-prefix routes. P/S: Peak hour routes, although route E33P provides services beyond peak hours. (Except A41P)

Fleet As of December 2021, Long Win Bus operated a fleet of 257 including 252 air-conditioned low floor double-decker buses and 4 air-conditioned single-decker battery electric buses.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Long Win Bus

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Long Win Bus claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Long Win Bus before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Long Win Bus ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Long Win Bus

In research: Long Win Bus appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Long Win Bus in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Long Win Bus is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1997 establishments in Hong Kong, Airport bus services, Bus companies of Hong Kong, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Long Win Bus outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
