Transport & getting around

Local secrets

Money-saving tips

  • Take the tram.  It is one of the cheapest forms of transport
  • Travel via the Star Ferry, also a very inexpensive form of transport
  • Hong Kong does not offer 'daily fares' on public transport. Each fare is per trip. So, if you have a choice, go as far as you can (to the end of the line the fare has calculated) and make the most of your trip
  • Purchase a 'tourist travel pass' - at any MTR (train) station
  • If you're travelling with another 3-4 people, take a taxi as it may be cheaper
