Special arrangements during typhoon[]
- This route will still provide special service (named as Route Y74A) when typhoon signal 8 or above is hoisted and when conditions permit. However, buses will only run within Senpai between Senpai Shopping Center and Hill Road, omitting Rainbow, East Door, North Leafy Garden, YiYan, Leafy Bay and Leafy Hospital.
- For the bus stop locations, refer to Special traffic arrangements at typhoon -- Route Y74A
- Bus service will be suspended when weather conditions threaten the safety of the buses, or the roads are blocked.
Usage Status[]
Before its extension to Haisey, Route 74A was too lengthy as it needs to circulate through Zone 7 for travelling between the terminus. Furthermore, routes like 75, 76, 475 and 476 (thanks to its two-way section fare) served almost every service area of 74A with a more direct routing in most cases. Worse still, the Hospital Authority's own step-free shuttle service (not playable in game) has also attract a certain amount of passengers away from the route. These factors combined has resulted in poor ridership figures of the route, with little to none passenger on board for most trips. However, sometimes it may able to pick up passengers who could not board 475, 475A or 476 since the 4 routes share similar routings between them.
As per documents in 2020, the route has an average ridership around 40% during the busiest hour and was deemed with low passenger demand.
After the route was straightened to serve Haisey, the route saw an improvement in ridership, in part to its direct route to the business center around Senpai. However, as the population of East Door and Haisey grew, this route and Route 673 remained as the only two daytime bus routes that served deep into the Haisey neighborhood. With the infrequency of Route 673 (temporarily renamed to 73 in the V2.0 update), along with the lack of full-day bus routes that goes beyond Zone 7, led to Route 74A coming under increasing stress from the many commuters wishing to travel to Haisey.
