豐田 Coaster Toyota Coatser
編號 Class：801 (2012 - 2014)
因應本身營運需要，珀麗灣客運於二零零三年在引進丹尼士Super Pointer Dart時，一併購入一架長陣版豐田Coaster小型巴士(LE5811)。珀麗灣購入這架豐田原意是於深宵時份，提供接駁服務來往中環及珀麗灣，以取代深宵期間的渡輪服務，唯有關計劃遭到居民反對而擱置，結果這架Coaster在投入服務之後，只用作支援珀麗灣其他路線，以及作為馬灣島內接駁路線之用。
因應開辦往返機場及珀麗灣之NR334，珀麗灣再於二零零七年向豐田購入一架Coaster(MZ7102)，並於車廂中裝上行李架，聯同三架亞歷山大丹尼士Super Pointer Dart成為機場路線車隊一員，因應設置行李架，MZ7102載客只有二十三人，較LE5811少三人。及後因應需求以及善用資源，珀麗灣亦將LE5811編為NR334車隊一員，除了鬆上機場路線色彩外，並未有加裝行李架，隨著機場路線客量需求一直維持在相對較低水平，故兩架豐田Coaster漸漸成為了NR334主力。MZ7102待在珀麗灣車隊中只有一段短時間，該車於二零一一年十月被出售，同一時間珀麗灣亦從二手市場購入一架一九九八年出廠的長陣版豐田Coaster，並套用了MZ7102這個車牌號碼，不過這架二手Coaster只是服役一個月左右，便被一架全新的青年JNP6122GR2大型單層巴士取代，MZ7102這個車牌號碼亦再次轉移至這架青年新車身上。
車隊編號制度曾經於二零一二年至一四年間出現於珀麗灣車隊之中，LE5811亦不例外，獲得801這個車隊編號。就在車隊編號消失了大約一年，LE5811亦從珀麗灣車隊中退下，至於小型巴士這個位置仍然由一架全新豐田Coaster二十三座小巴擔綱，並披上一個較為簡約的珀麗灣車身色彩。時至今日，除了行走機場線NR334外，這架車隊中唯一的小型巴士，更多時候是作租貸之用。
A sole 27-seaters long wheel-based Toyota Coaster (LE5811) was introduced by Park Island Transport Co. Ltd. together with Dennis Super Pointer Dart in 2003. PITCL proposed to introduce a overnight service between Park Island and Central as a replacement of the ferry service, however, this was rejected by residents and this Toyota Coaster was then deployed on the shuttle service within Ma Wan or supporting other Park Island routes during rush hours.
In 2007, an addition Coaster (MZ7102) was ordered for the opening of route NR334 to and from the Airport, this Coaster featured with a luggage rack was fitted and can carry 23 passengers. As the demand for this service lower than expected, LE5811 was joined the fleet with airport service livery applied as MZ7102 and both of them gradually become the scheduled bus of NR334. MZ7102 was sold to other operators with it registration transferred to a second-hand Coaster manufactured in 1998 acquired by PITCL in Oct., 2011. This second generation MZ7102 was not stay in PITCL long as it was finally replaced by a brand new YoungMan JNP6122GR2 in Nov., 2011 and again, the YoungMan was registered as MZ7102.
Fleet number system was introduced between 2012 and 2014 and LE5811 was classed as 801. LE5811 finally withdrawn from service in 2015 and replaced by another 23-seaters Coaster with a simplified PITCL livery and at present, the Coaster was mainly used on hiring duties or supporting route NR334.
