An antique double-decker Jumbo bus shuttled the streets of Hong Kong recently. Manufactured in 1979, the 42-year-old antique bus was put up for sale to private antique car fans by tender in 2017. The bus has undergone a series of refurbishment and inspection by the Transport Department before it can be driven on the streets of Hong Kong. The owner of the bus hoped to bring the public close contact with the bus and promote conservation culture.
