Are there Tourist Octopus week passes available for transport use?
There will be 20 passengers (18 x 15 year old netball players plus 2 adult staff) (21-29 Sept 2024 = 9 days) in our Netball touring team. Are there cheaper Tourist Octopus week passes available for transport use? Do we need to buy 20 Tourist Octopus cards (one per person)?

Currently, only the one-day pass is available. If you will travel a lot within the day by MTR, you can buy it. If not, a regular Octopus card is better.

In HK, the longer you take the MTR/bus, the higher the ticket price, varying from a few to dozens of pieces.

3. Can I buy both 1 day and 3 day tourist passes at HK Airport or I have to purchase online?

Thanks for your help.

In fact, an Octopus card is more recommended for you. 3-day pass does not seems to be available at present.
