Despite the short journey distance and time, Route 13 may run on steep terrain on some parts of the route. Also, it runs in densely populated areas, as well as areas with better air quality, especially in Mid-levels. Therefore, BYD K9R and Yixing SDL6120 electric buses are currently deployed on this route for reducing emission, so as noise during operation.
