​The Transport Department (TD) announced today (June 25) that the Green Minibus (GMB) Real-time Arrival Information System has been further extended to cover 165 GMB routes to facilitate passengers' trip planning.

     A spokesman for the TD said, "The GMB Real-time Arrival Information System has been operating smoothly since the test-launch in late 2020. With the support of the GMB trade, the TD has disseminated the real-time arrival information of 75 GMB routes for the first phase starting from March this year. The TD will continue to work closely with the trade to disseminate the real-time arrival information of the remaining 400 or so GMB routes in phases, with a view to achieving full implementation next year."

     Passengers can check the estimated arrival times of the next three GMBs that will arrive at GMB stops (including the termini and specified en-route stops) of the routes concerned through the TD's mobile application "HKeMobility". The relevant data will also be released in machine-readable format via the Public Sector Information Portal (data.gov.hk) for public use free of charge.
      
     Relevant publicity materials have been posted at the termini and inside the GMB compartments of the GMB routes concerned to inform passengers of the arrangements.
