Getting Around
Hong Kong's efficient Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system, comprehensive bus network,
and ferries to outlying islands will take you almost anywhere you need to go. A prepaid
Octopus card can be used on most forms of public transport in Hong Kong. For shorter
stays, buy a one-day or three-day pass for unlimited rides on the MTR. They are available
at any MTR station.
