Park Island Transport Company Limited (PITCL) operates bus and ferry services between Ma Wan Island and other parts of Hong Kong territory. It was established in 2002. Park Island is a major private housing estate on the island.

Corporate structure

PITCL was originally created as a joint venture company between a wholly owned subsidiary of the KMB Group (operator of Kowloon Motor Bus) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong & Kowloon Ferry Limited (HKKF). On 14 December 2005, HKKF divested its share of PITCL and PITCL became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the KMB Group.

Bus

PITCL operates three bus routes:

• NR330 - Ma Wan (Park Island) to Tsing Yi (in Tsing Yi Station)
• NR331 - Ma Wan (Pak Yan Road) – Tsuen Wan (Sai Lau Kok Road)
• NR332 - Ma Wan (Park Island) to Kwai Fong (between Metroplaza and Kwai Tsing Theatre, near Kwai Fong Station)

The buses that operate in these two routes are ten second-hand Dennis Dart SLFs bought from KMB. In 2004, because of the rapid growth of residents in Park Island, the company bought new Dennis Dart SPDs from the UK and the very first Designline electronic-motivated HEV bus from New Zealand which is more environmentally friendly.

Ferry

PITCL operates a fleet of 7 high-speed double-deck air-conditioned catamarans. The two ferry routes are:

• Ma Wan to Central (Pier 2)
• Ma Wan to Tsuen Wan Pier (next to the KCR West Rail station)
