Hong Kong MTR

Quick, Efficient World Class Mass Rapid Transport

The quickest, most reliable and efficient mode of transport in Hong Kong. The MTR is arguably one the best mass rapid transport systems in the world. Covering Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, you’ll travel in a safe environment and in clean air conditioned carriages.

Popular with tourists and the local commuters, the MTR is best avoided in the peak hour rushes. Plan your sightseeing, dining and other activities with this in mind.

Another piece of advice if you are not practical with the stations and their exits, which are marked alphabetically, download the location and station layouts from the MTR website. Or, check the Hong Kong Street Directory and Google Maps. Best of all, if you have a smartphone, is the MTR Mobile app. It has all the info needed, including the network map, exit info, travel planning and more.

If staying a while in Hong Kong purchase an Octopus Card. It can be topped up when required. If coming and going to HKIA, buy an Airport Express roundtrip ticket. It’s slightly cheaper than using two runs on the Octopus Card.

If you are staying three days buy the Airport Express Travel Pass. This gives you roundtrip to and from HKIA and three consecutive days of public transport. The MTR will not disappoint.
