Citybus Route 2A is a daytime bus route on Hong Kong Island, running between Yiu Tung Estate and Exhibition Centre station. It provides frequent assembly line services to passengers along King's Road, which also creates the problem of off-duty services..[1]
This line also has Route 2R, which runs from St. Paul's Hospital to Yiu Tung Estate in one direction, passing through Taikoo Shing and Sai Wan Ho. The route only provides services after designated large-scale events are held at the Hong Kong Stadium. It is mainly used to facilitate fans to return to the Eastern District by express route after watching football games without having to walk to Causeway Road to catch a bus.
