The resort-like residential town of Discovery Bay has always been filled with laid-back families and their furry friends, but they’re now upping the game even further with pet-friendly bus services.
Starting from May 11, pet owners and their companions can hop on DB Pet Buses to and from Discovery Bay. For now, this new service will run during four Sundays – namely May 11, June 8, September 14, and October 12 – bringing visitors to the pet-friendly Sunday markets that are happening on those weekends. There will be two routes servicing several areas in the territories: the PBD1 running from Tseung Kwan O to DB Plaza via Kai Tak, and the PBD2 running from Tuen Mun to DB Plaza via Tsuen Wan West.
A round-trip ticket for one passenger and one pet will cost $68, while a ticket for two passengers with a maximum of two pets will cost $136. Tickets can be purchased on the KMB App1933, which will generate a QR code to be shown when boarding the buses. The official partner for this pet bus, veterinary centre VetiVa, will also be bringing its dog ambassadors Max, Momo, Lesley, and Bosley to join the fun on the bus on May 11.
With furry friends in tow, spend relaxing Sundays exploring Discovery Bay’s market and dining out at the town’s range of pet-friendly restaurants. The Sunday market on May 11 in particular will be simultaneously Mother’s Day- and pet-themed, with over 60 vendors selling handmade crafts, unique gifts, pet products, and more. VetiVa will also be there to offer free health screenings and veterinary support for pets, with canine mascots Max, Momo, and Toastie to greet visitors.
Here’s hoping for more pet-friendly public transportation that runs regularly. Click here for more information on the DB Pet Buses.
