The MTR (Mass Transit Railway) consists of multiple rail lines that span across the developed areas of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. Among them, the <strong>Kwun Tong line<\/strong> (green), the <strong>Tsuen Wan line<\/strong> (red), and the <strong>Island line<\/strong> (blue) are three of the key lines. The Tuen Ma line is notably lengthy, connecting Tuen Mun to Wu Kai Sha with 27 stations in between. <strong>Accessibility<\/strong> is a priority, hence most MTR stations are equipped with wheelchair-friendly facilities and tactile guide paths for the visually impaired.<\/p>\n<h4>First and last trains in MTR<\/h4>\n<p>Train services typically begin from around <strong>6am<\/strong> and run until <strong>midnight<\/strong> or 1am (depending on the station and line). During peak hours, trains arrive every 2 to 4 minutes; during off-peak hours, they run every 4 to 6 minutes.<\/p>\n<h4>How to get to\u2026<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hong Kong International Airport<\/strong>: Travel on the Airport Express, which connects to the Tung Chung Line via Hong Kong Station, and Tsuen Wan and Island Lines via Central Station.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Central<\/strong>: Travel on the Tsuen Wan and Island Lines for Central Station and the Tung Chung Line for Hong Kong Station. Central and Hong Kong Stations are connected by an underground walkway within the paid area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tsim Sha Tsui<\/strong>: Travel on the Tsuen Wan Line, which connects to the Island Line via Admiralty and Central Stations, the Tung Chung Line via Central Station, and Tuen Ma Line via East Tsim Sha Tsui Station through an underground walkway outside of the paid area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Causeway Bay:<\/strong> Travel on the Island Line, which connects to the Tsuen Wan Line via Central and Admiralty Stations, Tung Chung Line via Central Station, East Rail and South Island Lines via Admiralty Station, and Tsueng Kwan O Line via North Point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_pay_for_the_MTR_in_Hong_Kong\"><\/span>How to pay for the MTR in Hong Kong<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>Octopus card<\/strong> is definitely the most handy and convenient way to pay for public transport in Hong Kong \u2013 covering the MTR, buses, trams, minibuses, ferries, and even a few taxis. You can pick up the card at any MTR Customer Service Centre and <strong>top it up<\/strong> at Octopus Add Value Machines or most convenience stores. When you leave Hong Kong, you can get a refund for any leftover balance. <strong>Contactless bank cards<\/strong> are now accepted in certain MTR stations, too. Left all your cards at home? <strong>Single-journey tickets<\/strong> are available from the Ticket Issuing Machines at MTR stations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Estimated costs<\/strong>: Cross-harbour journeys from $10, journeys with interchanges from $13<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Etiquette_and_tips_for_riding_on_the_MTR\"><\/span>Etiquette and tips for riding on the MTR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Here are some general <strong>etiquette tips<\/strong> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/honeycombershk\/p\/DCOi9Opv6kF\/?img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">riding on the MTR<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t swing on the bars and handles.<\/li>\n<li>Give up your seat to those in need.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a respectful distance from your fellow riders.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your volume down when chatting or using your phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Honey Hack<\/strong>: If you\u2019re worried about planning your way around Hong Kong, let the handy <strong>MTR mobile app<\/strong> help you out!

A clean and efficient form of public transport, complete with air-con for hot summer days, buses are a top-notch way of getting around Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>There are four major bus companies in Hong Kong:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>KMB operates mainly in Kowloon and the New Territories.<\/li>\n<li>Citybus (joined by New World First Bus (NWFB) in 2023) serves Hong Kong Island and provides cross-harbour routes.<\/li>\n<li>Long Win Bus caters to the Tung Chung area and the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/things-to-do-hong-kong-airport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Airport<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>New Lantao Bus focuses on <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/things-to-do-in-lantau-hong-kong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lantau Island<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>First and last buses<\/h4>\n<p>The earliest bus services start from around <strong>6am<\/strong>, and usually run until around <strong>midnight<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re out late, don&#8217;t worry \u2013 <strong>overnight &#8220;N&#8221; bus routes<\/strong> are available, often starting and terminating at MTR stations.<\/p>\n<h4>What Hong Kongers use the bus for<\/h4>\n<p>Buses are our trusty partner for when we\u2019re journeying between districts that are not directly connected by MTR. For example, travelling to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/neighbourhood-guide-to-stanley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stanley<\/a>, Tsz Wan Shan, and Nam Sang Wai. Certain bus routes are also ideal for traversing between the hilly districts of Central and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/guide-to-sheung-wan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sheung Wan<\/a> and other parts of Hong Kong Island. Finally, travelling by bus is also a great way to take in city views on the go.<\/p>\n<h4>Useful apps<\/h4>\n<p>You can determine the quickest bus route to your desired location using the Citymapper app or the KMB app. Citymapper gives you an overview of all available transport routes, while the KMB app will offer route suggestions and has relatively reliable information on the arrival times, stops, and fare details of each bus route.

Recently, some buses have also started to accept <strong>Alipay<\/strong> and digital payment options.

When weather allows, we love hopping on a <em>ding ding<\/em> for a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/tram-tour-landmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tram tour<\/a>! There\u2019s nothing more nostalgic than opening a tram window and feeling the gentle breeze as we glide through the enchanting streets of Hong Kong Island. That being said, the tram is a <strong>slower, more laid-back<\/strong> way to travel. So, if you\u2019re not up for a leisurely ride, consider other modes of transportation.<\/p>\n<h4>First and last trams<\/h4>\n<p>The earliest tram departs at around <strong>5.30am<\/strong> and runs until <strong>midnight<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_pay_for_the_tram_in_Hong_Kong\"><\/span>How to pay for the tram in Hong Kong<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pay the exact fare by using an Octopus card or cash.

As the tram is a slower form of public transport in Hong Kong, many passengers are likely expecting a serene city ride and would appreciate some peace and quiet. Consider your tram ride an immersive experience and join your fellow passengers in sitting back, relaxing, and letting the ambience of the city streets envelop you as you ride.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hktramways.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Hong Kong Tramways<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Minibus\"><\/span>4.

Whether you\u2019re taking the green or red minibus, make sure you alert the driver that you\u2019d like to get off at the next stop by <strong>yelling<\/strong> (really loud!) if there isn\u2019t a bell to ring. The driver will generally lift up their hand to inform you that the message has been received.<\/p>\n<h4>How Hong Kongers use the minibus<\/h4>\n<p>While there\u2019s no official website for Hong Kong minibus, we\u2019ve found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.16seats.net\/eng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">16seats.net<\/a> particularly useful when planning for a trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/shek-o-neighbourhood-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shek O<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/things-do-in-sai-kung\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sai Kung<\/a>, and other nature hotspots in the city.

Red minibuses are traditionally a cash-only mode of transport. That said, many green and red minibus operators now accept digital forms of payment, such as Alipay. Regardless, remember to pay upon boarding for green minibuses, and right before you alight when taking a red minibus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Estimated costs<\/strong>: Journeys ranges from $5 \u2013 20<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Etiquette_and_tips_for_riding_on_the_minibus\"><\/span>Etiquette and tips for riding on the minibus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What\u2019s the difference between green minibuses and red minibuses in Hong Kong, you ask? The green minibus has scheduled services while the <strong>red minibus has no specific bus routes<\/strong>, so only frequent commuters know where they could alight. Unless you <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/where-to-learn-cantonese-in-hong-kong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">speak fluent Cantonese<\/a> or are accompanied by an experienced minibus taker, we\u2019d advise against hopping on a red minibus.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Ferry\"><\/span>5.

Ferries also operate from the city centre to some <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/islands-around-hong-kong-day-trips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outlying islands<\/a>, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/what-to-do-in-cheung-chau\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cheung Chau<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/lamma-island-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lamma Island<\/a>. Over the past few years, there\u2019s been a heartfelt movement by Hong Kongers to preserve this cherished part of the city\u2019s heritage, acknowledging its value beyond just a means of transport.<\/p>\n<h4>First and last ferries<\/h4>\n<p>The Star Ferry arrives every 6 to 10 minutes and runs between <strong>6.30am<\/strong> and <strong>11.30pm<\/strong>. Others, such as the ferries to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/discovery-bay-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discovery Bay<\/a>, operate at different times and frequencies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_pay_for_the_ferry_in_Hong_Kong\"><\/span>How to pay for the ferry in Hong Kong<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can, again, use the almighty <strong>Octopus card<\/strong>, or purchase a ticket over the <strong>Harbour Tour Ticket Counter<\/strong> outside the piers. For the Star Ferry and cross-harbour ferries, you can expect fixed fares for the lower and upper deck (which has air-conditioning) on weekdays, and a slight increase on weekends. For ferry rides to the outlying islands, fares will be higher to reflect the longer distances travelled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Estimated costs<\/strong>: From $10, with higher prices for journeys to outlying islands<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Etiquette_and_tips_for_riding_on_the_ferry\"><\/span>Etiquette and tips for riding on the ferry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once again, the same etiquette mentioned above applies when riding on the ferry. However, since this is a relatively stable form of transport when in cruise, it\u2019s okay to walk around the passenger deck when the waves are smooth.
