Getting Around Hong Kong

In the subway, Hong Kong MTR

Hong Kong is compact and easy to navigate, with street, bus and subway signs clearly marked in English. Travelers can ride on subway trains, light rail, bus, minibus, ferry, tram and taxi to transport them, yet they all have their own fare system and require a new ticket each time you transfer from one to another. However, if you are going to stay in Hong Kong for several days, think of buying the Octopus Card, with which you can hop on and off trains, trams and most buses and ferries, not worrying about purchasing tickets each time.

By 2016, Hong Kong will have 12 subway lines, stations of which will be a stone's throw from most residential areas.

 By Bus
Most buses in Hong Kong are double-decker and some are air-conditioned. Hong Kong buses serve Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territory and some parts of Lantau with a cheap fare. However, it is advised to get to know the route map first if visitors have no idea of their streets. One big offer for bus passengers is the great scenery outside the bus window.

Taxi in Hong Kong

 By Taxi
It is easy to flag down a taxi in Hong Kong, especially at taxi stands or before hotels. To tell whether a taxi is with people in it or not, just see the light box on top of it or the mile indicator. Phone calls are made for taxi service if there is the need. It is worth to note that some of the tunnels are passed with tunnel fees.

 By Public Light Bus
Two kinds of public light bus run around Hong Kong, one for set routes and the other for unfixed routes. The set route bus is yellow-green coated with fixed pick-up and get-off points. Bus fare is paid before passengers hop on. Whereas, the unfixed route bus is red-yellow with destinations and bus fare written on a board on the front of the bus. The pick-up and get-off points can be wherever passengers want, so passengers tell driver the destination minutes before they hop off and pay.

 By Tram & Escalator
Trams has run for more than a century solely in Hong Kong Island. Because of the sound trams make, they are called "Ding Ding" by the local. Trams are cheap and move slowly in downtown Hong Kong Island and thus a chance to enjoy the pictures around. Escalator is what visitors take to Victoria Peak for a panoramic Hong Kong. Nevertheless, the century-old escalator itself gives tourists a unique experience.

Hong Kong Ferry

 By Ferry
Except for the trams, Star Ferry has also served Hong Kong for a century, running between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui and between Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom. It is really a great joy to take star ferry for the glittery and glamorous high-rises between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, especially during Christmas and New Year time. There are also other ferry services and it seems to be the only choice for those who head for outlying islands.
