Hong Kong Bus

Hong Kong buses

Hong Kong buses have covered almost all the region except some outlying islands. They are very important means of transportation in the Ocean Park, Repulse Bay and Lord Stanley in the south of Hong Kong Island. Almost all the buses running on Hong Kong Island are equipped with air-conditioning. Hong Kong boasts many double-decker buses, where passengers can sit near the front on the top deck, catch all the excitement and feel the pulse of city life. Also, there are night buses scheduled to operate at 0:00 – 6:00 which are good choices for the people arriving at the airport at night. All the night bus numbers start with letter “N”.  
 

Most buses operate from 05:00 to 01:00 the next day. For night buses, they operate from 00:00 to 06:00.
 

The fare of Hong Kong bus is set according to the distance which ranges from HKD 8 to HKD 80. And it is displayed on information boards at the bus stops. Almost all the buses in Hong Kong are self-service ticketing and change is not given, so passengers should ensure they are carrying the exact change before boarding. Cash, coin or Octopus Card are all available, but if you pay by Octopus Card, you will enjoy a discount.
 

City buses in Hong Kong are easy to take. Final destinations are shown on the front of the buses both in English and Chinese. You need to wave your hands at the stop when you see the bus. When you are approaching your destination stop, press the electronic buttons fixed in the bus to inform the driver that you want to get off. Otherwise, the driver may not stop.
