Bus

Hong Kong's extensive bus system will take you just about anywhere in the territory. Since
Kowloon and the northern side of Hong Kong Island are so well served by the MTR, most
visitors use the buses primarily to explore the southern side of Hong Kong Island, the New
Territories and Lantau Island.

Departures Most buses run from 5.30am or 6am until midnight or 12.30am, though there
are smaller numbers of night buses that run from 12.45am to 5am or later.

Fares Bus fares cost HK$4.70 to HK$52, depending on the destination. Fares for night
buses cost from HK$6 to HK$32. You will need exact change or an Octopus card.

Bus stations On Hong Kong Island the most important bus stations are the bus terminus in
Central and the one at Admiralty ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ) . From these stations you can catch
buses to Aberdeen, Repulse Bay, Stanley and other destinations on the southern side of
Hong Kong Island. In Kowloon the Star Ferry bus terminal has buses heading up Nathan Rd
and to the Hung Hom train station.
