Getting Around Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s public transportation is modern and quite impressive, especially considering some 2.4 million people board the trains alone each weekday. In fact, there are five lines that run over 80 km through 50 stations, yet everything has remained user-friendly and conveniently marked in English.

The buses, some of which include sleek double-deckers, are normally always on time and equipped with Octopus cards, which are prepaid travel cards that can be used on the trains, buses and ferries. What’s more, the ferries offer affordable and smooth rides from island to island. They’re especially enjoyable if you take them simply for the view of neighboring harbors and not necessarily for transportation.
