Park Island Transport Company Limited (PITCL) is a non-franchised bus service provider based in Hong Kong, established in 2002. It offers both bus and ferry transportation linking Ma Wan Island—mainly catering to the private residential development Park Island—with various locations across Hong Kong. PITCL operates as a fully owned subsidiary of Sun Hung Kai Properties, the company responsible for developing Park Island.

History

PITCL was originally formed through a partnership between Hong Kong & Kowloon Ferry and Transport International (formerly known as Kowloon Motor Bus Holdings). In 2009, ownership transferred entirely to Sun Hung Kai Properties.

Routes

The company manages four bus lines:

Former routes

On 15 December 2019, routes NR331 and NR331S were handed over to Sun Bus.

Fleet

Initially, PITCL's fleet consisted of six pre-owned Dennis Dart SLF buses acquired from Kowloon Motor Bus. To accommodate the increasing number of Park Island residents from 2003 to 2008, the company expanded its fleet by adding new Dennis Dart SPDs and three hybrid electric DesignLine Olymbus buses imported from New Zealand, which were phased out by 2010.

The current fleet comprises:

Ferry

PITCL operates six air-conditioned, high-speed, double-deck catamaran vessels that serve routes connecting Ma Wan with both Central Piers (Pier 2) and Tsuen Wan pier near Tsuen Wan West station.
