Dating back to the 1950s, the red minibuses have ferried laborers who left their villages to forge a new life in the city, carried weary souls rushing home through storms, transported workers escaping the turmoil of riots, and brought you and me to and from school and work. The red minibus is not merely a form of transportation; it embodies a profound Hong Kong sentiment. How deep is your understanding of it?

Our store, through Mak Kam-sang—Hong Kong’s last remaining ‘water sign’ writer for minibuses—presents his half-century-long observations of the minibus industry.
