PITCL operates five bus routes:
- NR330 - Ma Wan (Park Island) to Tsing Yi (in Tsing Yi Station)
- NR331 - Ma Wan (Pak Yan Road) to Tsuen Wan MTR Station
- NR332 - Ma Wan (Park Island) to Kwai Fong (between Metroplaza and Kwai Tsing Theatre, near Kwai Fong Station)
- NR334 - Ma Wan (Park Island) to Hong Kong International Airport Terminal 1 & 2 (and with a stop at Cathay Pacific City)

At the beginning, PITCL operated six second-hand Dennis Dart SLFs bought from KMB. Between 2003 and 2008, due to the rapid growth of residents in Park Island, the company bought new Dennis Dart SPDs from the UK and the very first Designline Olymbus electronic-motivated HEV bus from New Zealand which is more environmentally friendly. The three Designline buses had been withdrawn in 2008/2010.
List of PITCL buses:

Famous quotes containing the word bus:
“There was an old man from Darjeeling
Who got on a bus bound for Ealing.
It said at the door,
“Please don’t spit on the floor,”
So he carefully spat on the ceiling.”
—Anonymous.
“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)
“I’d take the bus downtown with my mother, and the big thing was to sit at the counter and get an orange drink and a tuna sandwich on toast. I thought I was living large!... When I was at the Ritz with the publisher a few months ago, I did think, “Oh my God, I’m in the Ritz tearoom.” ... The person who was so happy to sit at the Woolworths counter is now sitting at the Ritz, listening to the harp, and wondering what tea to order.... [ellipsis in source] Am I awake?”
—Connie Porter (b. 1959)
