DEFINITIONS: -Terminus: The origin and destination of a two-way route -Circular: A route whereby only one single journey is made, and only one terminus is present -Bus: The rolling stock of Roblox Motor Bus -Vehicle Restriction: Whereby certain bus models are PROHIBITED from servicing a certain bus route.
DETAILS: From Wednesday 16/4/14 (4/16/14) onwards, massive amendments to the RMB's Robloton operations will take effect as follows:
ARTICLE I: BUS ROUTE REORGANISATION: The Easter route reorganisation will be in effect as follows: BUS ROUTE NUMBER 72: Route 72 will be shortened to serve the current section between Sha Tsui Garden and Karnoll ONLY for conservation of resources as well as a reduced fare for passengers. The fare will be REDUCED to $8.1 only. The frequency of the route will be adjusted 20 minutes/bus.
BUS ROUTE NUMBER A41P: To provide a better service for airport passengers, bus route A41P will skip Robloton South using the Ma Po Tong Flyover and only serve Robloton North. Further amendments will straighten A41P in Robloton north and these include: Convention Centre will NOT be served. The fare of A41P will be adjusted to $19.8(may change on date of effect).
BUS ROUTE NUMBER 286X: 286X's routing will be dramatically changed, it will become a circular serving Ching Ming Garden (terminus) and Convention Centre/Reclamation Street. During the AM period (HK time) buses will serve Convention Centre first, then Reclamation Street. During the PM period however, buses will serve Reclamation Street first and then Convention Centre, to provide a fast link for Convention Centre passengers for the Bus-Bus Interchange at Robloton Tunnel. Fare will be REDUCED to $8.2.
BUS ROUTE NUMBER 298E: 298E will change into a circular, terminus at Ching Ming Garden. Clear Water Bay minor route adjustment.
BUS ROUTE NUMBER 238X:
Enormous changes will be applied to 238X, liberating people from Ma Po Tong new development area, in line with Robloton SAR Government's reurbanisation strategy. 238X will no longer serve Industrial Estate, but insead it will serve Ma Po Tong South with Cybertron, via Castle Peak Hospital. It will no longer serve Sau Mau Ping and Karnoll to reduce journey times. Fare will be adjusted to $13.2
BUS ROUTE NUMBER 270A: 270A will no longer via Sha Tsui Garden, giving passengers from Emarchial Bay and Sau Mau Ping a faster link. Fare will be adjusted to $14.2
BUS ROUTE NUMBER 234A AND BUS ROUTE NUMBER 234B: Their infinite circular system will be cancelled, and instead they will be separated to 2 separate routes. 234A will ply between Convention Centre and Robloton Central, whilst 234B will ply between Fentford and Cybertron. 234A's fare will remain the same whilst 234B's fare wil be adjusted to $5.9
BUS ROUTE NUMBER 87D: A new bus route will commence operations plying between Golden Shopping Centre and Industrial Estate, serving Yen Chau Street. Fare is $10.1 and frequency is every 10/15 minutes.
BUS ROUTE NUMBER 28B: A new short distance bus route will commence operations, plying between Industrial Estate and Sha Tsui Garden forming a U shape, serving Sau Mau Ping. Fare is $4.9 and frequency will be every 10 minutes.
Other routes have insignificant changes or no change at all whatsoever.

ARTICLE 2: IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR LEVEL OF SERVICE, SAFETY AND COMFORT: Various changes will happen to our buses, our infrastructure i.e. Bus stops, termini and bus depots:
CHANGE TO ORANGE LED DESTINATION SIGNS:
All of our buses at Robloton will start using Orange LED signs that are more visible to our passengers and are more attractive to the look of our superior buses. These will include up to date information of our routes, allowing our passengers to know what service we're providing.
[CHANGES TO OUR BUSES]: First off, the enviro 500 will be getting a massive upgrade using more clearer exterior decals. The stop bells in our buses will be improved from rectangular to oval shaped bells.
[OUR ENVIRO 500 WILL RECEIVE A BRAND NEW DRIVING SYSTEM]- this includes a gearbox to our ATEU enviro 500! This will allow the bus to firstly climb steep slopes up Gau To Shan (will mention in next article) but will also allow better comfort due to smoother accelerating (the bus accelerates slowly AT FIRST). This will also mean safer driving, as all of our bus captains will be driving at a safer pace to Robloton's roads as well as driving more "green"- our gearbox has resulted in a lower fuel consumption- implying less emissions onto our road, for Robloton to be Roblox's greenest city. This is the CORE update of enviro 500- better comfort, less emissions and better safety.
[CHANGES TO OUR BUS-BUS INTERCHANGE]: to allow passengers to interchange between different routes easily, our current BBI interchange will have the luxury of seats, air conditioning and clear signs to allow passengers to know which bus they should take. With this interchange, passengers can get from A to ANYWHERE IN ROBLOTON with just 1 change in bus, and at a lower fare! This really strengthens our bus network, as more destinations can be linked with fewer routes.
[CHANGES TO BUS TERMINI]: Our bus termini will become brighter and more appealing to passengers, as well as receiving state-of-the-art sinage in the near future, allowing passengers to know which bus to take to where! Station masters will also be stationed at termini in the future in which both our staff and passengers can ask questions (for passengers), and receive duty schedules (staff).
[CUSTOMER SERVICE] Other than station masters for enquiries at bus termini, a welcome GUI+ introduction will be added to welcome our passengers into our service! (MENU GUI may be added in future)
[other changes] Our overall infrastructure will also be upgraded, more brighter and appealing, and with brand new textures rolling out!

ARTICLE III: CHANGES TO ROBLOTON'S MAP IN COOPERATION WITH ROBLOTON SAR GOVERNMENT.
Following Transport Department's road improvement plan, we together with TD will improve Robloton's overall road system, and be in line with the government's development plan!
[ROAD IMPROVEMENTS}:
- Fentford flyover has been removed to simplify road network, and buses can easily turn onto the highway and into Fentford (YAY!)
-[LESS TIGHT CORNERS] Solid double white lines will be removed, as TD have acknowledged that with our supreme 12 metre enviro 500s, that our enviro 500s needed to take space on the opposite side to make turns- well now that has been acknowledged! MUCH MORE EASIER DRIVING FOR EVERYONE!
- Ma Po Tong Flyover has been constructed to provide a quick link to airport and Ma Po Tong, extending Robloton highway! A41P (mentioned earlier) will use this for an express connection to airport!
- [EASIER TURNING] Some roads will have their corners widened in order to accommodate our current 12 metre enviro 500s, as well as AVBWU/ a possible 12.8 metre long E500 MMC in the future.
- [Other changes in near future] In addition, more road markings will be added, zebra crossings will be implempted and traffic lights will receive dynamic lighting and many more.
[NEW AREA DEVELOPMENTS AND CHANGES]
- Gau To Shan has been made, posing a more realistic and challenigng road for our veteran drivers. This road is 5:1 (every 5 metres the road raises 1 metre, meaning a tangent of 11.3 degrees), there will be a vehicle restriction on 72- Omnicities are NOT allowed as they do not have enough power to climb the slope. E500s on the other hand with their gearbox can!
- Emarchial Bay: This is a NEW HIGH CLASS RESIDENTIAL AREA, that has been remade from the stretch of road between Sau Mau Ping and Ha Tsuen- this will feature Emarchial Beach and Emarchial Public Transport Interchange! 270A and E42 serve this area.
- As you may have noticed, many areas are renamed- Ma Po Tong, Ching Ming Garden etc. are all renamed places! (Old airport and Chevalier Garden) |

I think you need to shoot yourself before you make ROBLOX any worse.

not_bad.jpg But still room to improve How about adding engine sounds. And it might not be dependent on speed but RPM And I visited Robloton. Environment needa be much more airy with low rise houses in some areas n parks in every district Some different kinds of architecture needs to be there to make bus journeys more interesting If u do it all, and u listen broadly to ppl's opinions from everywhere then RMB will eventually become the best bus company in robloxia imo (if not the best then a good bus company at least) |

| I think these improvements will be a good thing. @Ohdoh, there is enough light in the city as it is. And @All who say RMB isn't the best, I beg to differ. VIVA RMB! |

Well, If you have any things to tell the CEO, Please don't say it here, PM Her. IF you can't PM Her, you will just talk to her on the wall or here. (if you did not join RMB)
RMB is a Roblox Bus Company. It was a Hong Kong bus service on real life but on Hong Kong its not RMB, It is... I forgot... :P.
Please don't say anything bad here. |
