Feeder bus

A feeder bus is a bus service that picks up and delivers passengers to a rail rapid transit station or express-bus stop or terminal.[citation needed]

Operation

MTRC provides feeder bus services for the convenience of passengers using MTR rail networks. The routes provide access to and between many MTR stations for thousands of passengers every day. The MTRC's integrated fare system also allows East Rail Line, West Rail Line and Light Rail passengers who use Octopus cards to enjoy the free feeder bus services that link many housing estates to East Rail Line, West Rail Line stations and Light Rail stops.[citation needed]

The Corporation operates a total of 13 routes, including West Rail Line and Light Rail feeder bus services, as well as an additional 4 East Rail Line feeder routes between Tai Po Market Station operated under Kowloon Motor Bus's franchise.[citation needed]

The service carried approximately 50 million passengers in 2014.[1]
