- Nota - a) A Avenida Vasco da Gama desse época, é hoje a Avenida Sidónio Pais.

b) O Pagode Tou Tei, penso ser o que ainda existe lá para os lados do Patane, pois não fazia sentido tratar-se do Tou Tai Miu, que fica situado na Rua Tomás da Rosa, bem ao aldo do mercado da Mitra.

c) A Praça Camões, segundo a compnahia assim se referia, seria talvez a Praça Luis de Camões, junto à Igreja de S.António.

d) O Cais dos Vapores, sub-entende-se ser onde a companhia tinha, e continua a ter, a sua sede, junto à ponte 12, do Porto Interior.

Penso ser um dos autocarros usados pela Companhia The Kee Kwan Motor Road. Co., Ltd.
Um dos funcionárias desta companhia e conhecido do articulista, confirmou, que esta foto se refere aos autocarros usados nessa época.
