Midnight is almost the best and excellent time to record sounds. Especially those midnight drivers drive their buses faster than normal too. So I decided to record a good recording to capture some fabulous sounds which cannot be listened at normal service times.

N796 is a midnight bus route serviced by New World First Bus in Hong Kong. Its main customers are the citizens living beyond the Sheung Tak, Tseung Kwan O town centre, and Tiu Keng Leng.
This route is NWFB's first and the only non-crossing-harbor bus route which serving between New Territories and Kowloon. It is also the longest non-crossing-harbor circular route, which is 36.1 km long.

The Fa Yuen Street is located at Mong Kok, which is the stop defined as the circulation point in "Schedule of Routes Order". However, NWFB selected the first bus stop in Tsin Sha Tsui area as the circulation point.

The back journey drives back to Tiu Keng Leng via Kwn Tong Road, instead of Kwun Tong By-pass.

Recorded at seat near middle door of the first double seats in lower deck, using ZOOM Q3HD w/out bundled windscreen w/ low-cut enabled.
