TransportTravel note
Use a contactless card or Octopus for transport
MTR, Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
The MTR, buses, trams and Star Ferry all accept the Octopus card, and many also take contactless bank cards. Buying single tickets each time is slower.
The lesson
Sort out tap-to-pay on your first day.
