23 January 2006, the Transport Department announced that Citybus had won the tender, with route number A10, the fare of which was set as HK$48, surpassing the A12 as the most expensive franchised bus route in Hong Kong. The service on the new route commenced on 26 March 2006. Ten MAN NL262/R single deckers (fleet number 1560 - 1569) were upgraded to Cityflyer standard, including luggage racks and 33 seats (the same as the double deckers), for use on the new route. This was the only Cityflyer route operated predominantly by single deckers. In April 2016, the last of the MAN NL262s were retired, and their place filled by the 12 metre Enviro500 MMC double deckers. Some routes have been suspended and others reduced sharply in frequency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
