You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Hong Kong bus route sign in Repulse Bay.jpg|right|thumb|upright|A bus route sign at the [[Repulse Bay]] Beach Stop (淺水灣海灘), with both [[Citybus (Hong Kong)|Citybus]] and [[New World First Bus|NWFB]] routes shown|alt= A sign, seen through a vehicle, with large numbers and text in Chinese and English. The upper portion is yellow; a small section at the bottom is in orange]]
In [[Hong Kong]], public bus, [[public light bus]] (also known as green [[minibus]]) and residential bus routes bear their own route numbers.

== Public buses ==
The numbering systems of public buses can be classified into ''[[Hong Kong Island]] routes'', ''[[Kowloon]] and [[New Territories]] routes'', ''[[Lantau Island]] ([[New Lantao Bus]]) routes'', ''[[MTR Bus]] routes'', c''ross-Harbour routes'' and ''[[Hong Kong International Airport|Airport]] and North Lantau external bus routes''. Their route numbering systems are independent. For example, there are both route 1, and route 2 on Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and Lantau Island respectively.

In the past, the air-conditioned bus routes were numbered as 200's (Kowloon and New Territories) and 500's (Hong Kong Island). However, this identification became void after they phased out all the non-aircon buses; since then, bus routes have used the old numbers.

At one time, there were two ''"N11"'' bus routes in [[Tung Chung]], namely, Airport overnight route N11 and Lantau Island overnight route N11. The latter is no longer in service.

== Public light buses ==
The numbering systems of [[public light bus]] (green minibuses) are classified into ''Hong Kong Island public light bus routes'', ''Kowloon public light bus routes'' and ''New Territories public light bus routes''. There is one public light bus route operating in Airport/Lantau Island (901).<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.16seats.net/eng/gmb/gn_901.html |title=New Territories GMB Route 901 &#124; www.16seats.net ))</ref> Their route numbering systems are independent too. However, for cross harbour public light bus routes, the route numbers from Hong Kong Island or New Territories are used instead.

== Residential buses ==
Residential bus routes are the routes which are requested to operate by the residents or estates community. In the past, the route numbers are with a suffix "R". The first residential bus route was route 88R from [[City One|City One Shatin]] to [[Kowloon Tong station]] (it was then renumbered 62R). From c. 2003, the route numbers have been changed to prefixes "HR", "KR", and "NR". They stand for ''Hong Kong Island residential bus routes'', ''Kowloon residential bus routes'' and ''New Territories residential bus routes'' respectively. There is no residential bus services on Lantau Island (except [[Discovery Bay]]) and the Airport.

== Route numbering system for public buses ==
Note that xx represents numbers.

=== Hong Kong Island routes ===
* 2xx & 3xx: Recreational routes
* 5xx: Existing air-conditioned bus routes (The rule was abolished when [[China Motor Bus]] ceased operations in 1998.)
* 7xx: [[Island Eastern Corridor]] express routes

=== Kowloon & NT routes ===
* xx: Existing bus routes operated by Kowloon Motor Bus, except routes 20 and 22 which are operated by Citybus.
* 2xx: Existing air-conditioned bus routes as a rule before 2008. However, the rule was abolished with the phasing out of non-aircon buses.
* 7xx: routes operated by [[Citybus (Hong Kong)|Citybus]]
* 8xx: [[Sha Tin Racecourse]] routes

=== Cross-harbour routes ===
*1xx: [[Cross-Harbour Tunnel]] routes
*3xx: Peak-hour only cross-harbour routes (except for 307)
*6xx: [[Eastern Harbour Crossing]] routes
*9xx: [[Western Harbour Crossing]] routes
