Calligraphy signs with red and blue words informing passengers the destination and fare. In 1984, the government approved the installation of air conditioning in minibuses, which directly increased the demand for minibuses as well as minibus signs. In recent years, the demand has declined, thus turning the handicraft into a sunset business. Minibus signs indeed reflect the unique culture of minibus in Hong Kong and change of era.
