Octopus Cards - The Easy Way to Travel

Most public transport requires the 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 centres.

* With the Octopus, you will enjoy free MTR connections as long as you have usable value on the card and that you travel on the MTR and Airport Express within one hour of each other.

** The overhead time for the whole trip (eg. waiting time in interchange stations) is around 15 - 20 mins.
