    Not a downgauge but an upgrade as KMB is increasing the frequency of the following routes to provide more space for commuters in light of the Wuhan nCoV (it sort of makes sense in a way).

    This is still unconfirmed but comes from a local transport forum with good sources... Document is self explanatory and is allegedly a letter from KMB to the Transport Department. This would make confirm rumours that part-time bus drivers have been let-go temporarily...

    North Lantau routes 38, 37, 37H, 37M, 39M, B4, B6 now running on Sunday frequencies according to the local District Councillor... Checked on the ETA app and it's true.

    Some peak-hour only drivers (paid by the hour) have not been assigned shifts (and thus aren't getting paid). That sounds a bit better already

    In case anyone is stuck in Macau: most bus routes now end service at 10:30pm.
