嶼巴東涌區內線37多年來肩負接駁東涌西北的責任,不過基於來自城巴E21A競爭,以及迂迴的行車路線,導致整體營運狀況不算埋想。在新冠肺炎疫情下,嶼巴曾經將37停駛,以路線相近的37H作替代,雖然37期後隨疫情緩和而恢復行駛,但最終於二零二一年二月七日開始縮減服務,只於星期一至五上課日行走,並一併修改行車路線,受影響乘客則需轉乘37H路線。

NLB route 37 was a Tung Chung internal service that linking Tung Chung East and West. Poor patronage as a result of competition from City Bus E21A and indirect routing.

往返新田圍及九龍塘站的九巴路線281M因為路線迂迴,以及與鐵路重疊令到客量一直處於低水平,隨著屯馬線一期通車及顯徑站開通後,需求進一步減少,因此有關方面計劃從二零二零年十二月初開始調整班次,而當屯馬線全線通車後,相信281M難逃路線調整以至被取消的命運。

九巴82K路線客量長期偏低,雖然於二零一零年曾縮短路線由火炭至黃泥頭,但情況未有顯著改善,於二零一三至一四年路線發展計劃中,九巴再提出修改路線成往返美田及新田圍,但由於新田圍區議員要求保留往返威爾斯醫院的服務,有關改動暫未能實施,而最終結果可能會是改由專線小巴營運。

To utilize the resource, KMB suggested route 82K changed into a new circular route 82A, linking Mei Tin and Sun Tin Wai in the route development plan 2013 - 14.

從九十年代初開始,九巴及九鐵巴士部(現稱港鐵巴士)合共引入近二百架三菱MK中型空調巴士,提升服務質素。在二零零九年今天,港鐵巴士的三菱將絕跡於車隊中,至於九巴,也只餘下六十多架三菱MK巴士。左圖攝於天水圍屏夏路,左邊是港鐵309(EZ3045),右邊是九巴AM152(FN7719)。

There were almost 200 samples of Mitsubishi MK midibus introduced by KMB and KCRC Bus Division (now known as MTR Bus). In 2009, only less than 70 left in KMB fleet while those in MTR Bus fleet will be replaced by Enviro200Darts within this year. Seen in Ping Ha Road, Tin Shui Wai, MTR 309 (EZ3045) was working on K75 while AM152 (FN7719) of KMB was heading for Yuen Long (East).
