Taxi






Taxis are everywhere and cheap. They start at HK$ 15 and go up from there. Some Taxis have a board with Chinese writing in their front screen, or some may be sat around and then refuse to take you anywhere! They are not being rude, it is just that they are travelling to Kowloon, and so are waiting for passengers to take them back, that way they do not have to pay the toll for using the tunnel. In general the level of English of the drivers is quite limited so it can be useful to ask your hotel to write your destination in Chinese so the driver knows exactly where you are going.




MTR(under ground railway)


Here you will be able to use the Octupus Card in the same way that you did when you arrived. Just pass it over the barriers. The MTR is clean, fast, cheap and covers most of the major areas in Hong Kong. The MTR is by far the fastest way to get to and from the Island to Kowloon. All you need to know is where the station is that you are going and where you are at that time. Look for the last station in the direction that you want to travel and then just follow the signs for that.
