Octopus tourists, all-day tourists, transit tickets, airport express tickets, travel to Hong Kong can use transportation cards. Bian Xiao will talk to you about transportation cards today. In fact, it seems that there are many transportation cards to buy when traveling, but do you know which card is suitable for you?

Octopus card

Octopus can be used in public transport such as subway, bus, jingle car and Star Ferry in Hong Kong, and it can also be used in convenience stores and some specialty shops. . Octopus card belongs to stored-value card, and its application range is wider. Besides taking the subway, you can also take most other means of transportation (buses, jingles, Star Ferry, etc.). ), and you can also swipe your card at convenience stores such as 7- 1 1 and even many restaurants in Hong Kong, which is very convenient to use. If the balance on the Octopus card is insufficient, you can directly recharge 7- 1 1. There is a 7- 1 1 on almost every street in Hong Kong. Of course, as a tourist, the disadvantage of using an ordinary adult Octopus card is that you have to pay a deposit of HK$ 50 when you buy the card for the first time (this deposit has been put in the card and cannot be taken out). If you cancel the card after using it for less than 3 months, you need to deduct a certain handling fee, and the deposit inside is not fully refunded. Return the card within 3 months, and the deposit can be fully refunded.
