Octopus Card

Me and the other half are going to Hong Kong for 4 nights next week. On reading the forum people are in favour of getting an Octopus Card to get around, how much would I have to roughly pay for a card for the duration.



Octopus Card


An octopus card is HK$150, which has HK$100 credit and HK$50 refundable deposiit. You need one card per person for transport payments. For 4 nights, I think add an extra HK$50 to each card. Further add can done at any MTR station or convienence store.

Many thanks for that.




At the airport you can get octopus cards designed for tourists ie: for $300 you get a return trip on the airport express, 3 days unlimited mtr use and another $20 you can use for other stuff ie: buses, trams, mcdonalds etc. I think you can add more money to it if you want to. I think you might get a refund when you return it. I%26#39;m sure that even if you stay longer than 3 days and even if you use up all the money the second half of the airport express hourney is still valid. Octopus is such a great invention - you don%26#39;t even have to take it out of your bag for it to work.




The tourist octopus no longer contains the HK$20 credit.
