The driver of the bus joined the company in 2017. So far there is no sign of fatigue driving when the accident occurred, said the general manager.
Speaking to reporters after visiting the injured in the Prince of Wales Hospital, HKSAR Chief Executive Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said she will order an independent inquiry to see whether there are any systemic problems with Hong Kong's bus operations.
She said the commission will be headed by a judge and she expected it to come up with suggestions to ensure Hong Kong's public transport system is reliable and safe.
Lam said the government is "deeply grieved" by the accident.
Various hospitals have set up emergency support stations to help families of the deceased and each affected family will receive support from social workers, she said.
Various charity groups have announced to offer emergent financial help to the victims' families.
The accident was the deadliest one in Hong Kong since 2003, when 21 people were killed after a double-decker bus plunged off a flyover following a collision with a container truck.
In September last year, three people were killed when a double-decker bus mounted a pavement in Sham Shui Po.
