By Air -- Airport Rehabus


Buses provided by the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation are called Rehabuses. (or 'labeled Rehabus.' if this is the name on the side of the bus.) This association was founded in 1959 with the mission of building an equal society for disabled people, patients, and the elderly and improving their physical condition, psychological outlook and communication skills. For instance, it helps disabled people not only have access to schools, workplaces, hospitals and clinics but also to scenic spots. In 1978, it established the 'Rehabus' system, serving those who find it difficult to use public transport means. Rehabuses are equipped with lift tables, wheelchairs, handrails and many other safety facilities to make sure passengers feel empowered and comfortable.

Visitors from overseas (non Hong Kong residents) who are in need of help of this type of transportation, such as traveling between the airport and their hotel, or sightseeing, also can book the Rehabus service in advance.
