On 1st December 2008, The Big Bus Company announced they were to commence operations in Hong Kong.

Trial runs operating a non-stop circular route on Kowloon side (the blue route) started on Monday 15th December, these being offered at a special rate. The full service was launched in January 2009. 

My thanks to Dennis Wong and Dennis Law for providing the above information.
