HONG KONG (AP) — Travel-starved, sleep-deprived residents might find a new Hong Kong bus tour to be a snooze.

The 76-kilometer (47-mile), five-hour ride on a regular double-decker bus around the territory is meant to appeal to people who are easily lulled asleep by long rides.

......

The first “Sleeping Bus Tour” last Saturday sold out entirely. Some passengers came prepared, bringing their own blankets and changing their shoes to slippers, while others brought travel pillows.

“I have been suffering from insomnia so I am here to try and get some sleep,” said 25-year-old Anson Kong, one of the passengers on the first bus tour.

Singapore is pathetic, other countries have all sorts of customised services to cater to their people and here, we have licenses and restrictions and all sorts of nanny state trappings to discourage such spirit

Singapore is decisively finished under dumbass PAP

Saw the news reported on Taiwanese news.

These buses cater to travel around the New Territory island that cost from 99 HKD, and for those who choose to sleep will go to the upper deck of the double decker bus.

And passengers are allow to alight at designated stops which the bus travels. And the bus company is now planning for a Halloween bus ride too.

Is it? Obviously like all their other initiatives, they are targeted for tourists and NOT for locals
