From Ngong Ping to Causeway Bay, you can take Bus Line 23 from Ngong Ping Bus Stop to Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal first and then take Metro Tung Chung Line to Hong Kong station and then interchange to Island Line at Central Station to Causeway Bay. It takes about 2 hours and costs HKD 43.

From Causeway Bay to Victoria Peak, take a tram from Yee Wo Street (Paterson Street) (West bound) to Johnston Road (Burrows Street) (West bound). Then walk about 300m to take the Bus Line 15 from St. Joseph's College Primary School, Queen's Road East to The Peak Police Station, Peak Road. It takes about 1 hour and costs around HKD 15.
