Minibus

Minibus signs are signs used to indicate the route, stations, and fare for red minibuses in Hong Kong, which are free to operate anywhere, except where special prohibitions apply, without a control over routes or fares by the Transport Department of the Hong Kong government.

These signs are written by hand on plastic boards, using ink of different colours, for example, red indicates the destination and written in blue ink are places that the vehicle will pass by. The signs are placed in the front of the minibus window or the window by the door, providing information for the potential passengers.
