From the Cruise Terminal to the City
The Kai Tak Cruise Terminal is in Kowloon. A free shuttle bus runs to Kowloon Bay MTR station. From there, the entire city is accessible. Taxis are plentiful and affordable — about 50-80 HKD to most Kowloon destinations.
Getting an Octopus Card
The Octopus card is a rechargeable transit card that works on the MTR, buses, ferries, and even in many shops. Buy one at any MTR station for 150 HKD. It saves time at every turnstile.
Essential Transit Options
MTR — Fast, clean subway. Signs in English and Chinese. Runs from 6am to 1am.
