In common with the rest of Homuntin, this district is still without flushing facilities.

Last but not least is the wholly inadequate bus service to Homun tin. The infrequency of the buses is had enough and yet, instead of running straight down Waterloo Road into Nathan Road, Ferry- bound buses go right out to Argyle. Street and enter Nathan Road at Mong Kok before they finally reach Waterloo Road again near the Telephone Company's premises. Is there another such route in Hong- kong?
