Hong Kong has a very well-developed transportation network.
The subway is the most convenient form of public transport in Hong Kong. The cost of the trip depends on the distance, but in general, it is inexpensive to travel by public transport in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Metro Map
By the way, the subway in Hong Kong is called MTR, and it is indicated by an icon similar to the letter J.
The subway in Hong Kong is convenient and very clear, in addition, all the signs and announcements on the speakerphone are duplicated in English, so it's almost impossible to get lost there. However, many metro stations have several exits marked with letters and numbers (for example A1, A2, B1, etc.), so you need to know which way to exit, otherwise if you exit from the wrong exit, you will have to walk back to the right direction for a long time. If there is a famous landmark near the metro station, then the subway will have signs indicating which exit you need to go to to get there.
An Octopus card is used to pay for MTR and other public transport.
The bus network in Hong Kong is also very well developed. Buses take you to many attractions and beaches.
Ferries
Another interesting mode of transportation in Hong Kong is ferries. On both sides of the Victoria Strait, near the metro stations of the same name, there are Central Pier 7 and Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier, from which ferries run. In fact, there is only one stop between these two metro stations, which means it is cheaper and faster to get from Hong Kong to Kowloon by metro, but it will be much more interesting to cover this distance at least once by ferry, which offers a beautiful view of the famous skyscrapers of Hong Kong. There is a ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier to Wan Chai Pier.
Ferry fare is quite inexpensive — 2.50 HKD (about 20 rubles) on weekdays and 3.40 HKD (about 27 rubles) on weekends. The ferry schedule is available on the official Star Ferry website.
Star Ferry
Ferry access to Lamma Island is also available from the central marina. Ferries run there from Central Pier 4 and Central Pier 6. Ferry schedules can be viewed here.
Taxis are also a very popular form of transportation in Hong Kong. There is no need to call a taxi here. If you go outside and raise your hand, a taxi will definitely stop. There are a lot of them in the city. The minimum fare for a two—kilometer trip is 22 Hong Kong dollars (about 180 rubles). Then the meter starts ticking and adding up the kilometers. In general, if the trip is short, it is quite profitable to take a taxi, for example, to get from the hotel to the subway or to travel around the city center.
