Hong Kong Transportation

Hong Kong has one of the top transport systems of any city in the world.

 
 
   

Mass-Transit Railway (MTR)

The underground MTR is fast, clean, efficient and inexpensive. Fares range from HK$4 to HK$26 and can be paid with single-journey tickets or travel passes like the Octopus card. Look for signs pointing to nearby MTR station entrances. The MTR is great for getting to Hong Kong's attractions as well as a host of shopping and dining outlets.

The MTR has six lines:
    Airport Express: running between the Hong Kong International Airport and Central;
    Island Line: running between Sheung Wan and Chai Wan;
    Tsuen Wan Line: running between Central and Tsuen Wan;
    Kwun Tong Line: running between Yau Ma Tei and Tiu Keng Ling;
    Tseung Kwan O Line: running between North Point and Po Lam; and
    Tung Chung Line: running between Central and Tung Chung.
