Hong Kong is a compact city with one of the best public transport systems in the world. Efficient, safe and affordable, commuters never need to wait long for a taxi, ferry, MTR, bus, minibus or tram. Check here for details.
There is an electronic stored value card called 'Octopus Card' that is accepted by almost all forms of public transport. Visitors can add money to the card whenever needed, and any unspent value in the on-loan type of card is refundable along with the HK$50 deposit (minus HK$7 handling fee for cards returned within three months). Visitors may also opt for a non-returnable card.
