How to Get From A to B...
Hong Kong is geographically compact and boasts one of the world's most efficient, safe,
affordable and frequent public transport systems. Whether by taxi, ferry, rail, bus, or
tram, you can get around easily and catch wonderful glimpses of the city along the way.
Octopus Cards – The Easy Way to Travel
Most public transport requires exact change and that's why we recommend that you get an
Octopus Card. This electronic stored-value card is just like money and is
accepted on most public transport including buses, minibuses, trains, ferries, the Peak
Tram, and some taxis. It's even accepted at convenience stores and fast food restaurants.
To pay a fare, simply place the Octopus Card on the reader located next to the fare box
and the fare gets deducted electronically. A new Octopus Card includes a refundable
HK$ 50.- deposit. Any leftover money is also refunded when you return the card. Ask
for it at the Airport Express Customer Service Counters on Level 5 of the Hong Kong
International Airport. The cards are also available at most public transport customer
service centers.
