Hong Kong’s Transportation Ways

Posted by kathy - Under: Uncategorized

After being able to experience commuting in HK, I finally realized that it is so easy to do so! Well, yes bit intimidating at first (after reading from forums and sites that discusses traveling without the hook from travel agents and all) but when you are already there,  it’s really easy as long as you have your map and your octopus card with you (you can opt to pay with your money, but having a card to do so -which I will blog about some other time - is really convenient) I think they even have their own roadside assistance club to help those who get lost or needed direction or something too :D

Anyways, so what did we took during our commuting moments at HK? as per advise by a friend who just recently got there, she said that we shouldn’t let it pass to try the city flyer bus that can bring us to the city (from the airport) though we can opt to take the MTR for faster route, we didn’t because we wanted to do some sight seeing first :D

What I like best with their commuter transportation is the fact that they have their own bus stops and they really have their on time schedule for every departure and arrival (something that I believe is not new to others, but for me, it’s really cool, you know how commuting works here in our country, it’s chaotic and unique! :D )

Here’s a photo of the said A21 bus and it’s bus stop (city flyer that brought us to the city) the 13th stop, to be exact.

As mentioned earlier, we also took the MTR, that can bring to you to your destination in just minutes.. regardless of the distance! another pretty cool experience for me (being so used to traffic and spending hours and hours of time in the middle of the road, waiting for the traffic to end, it’s just so refreshing for me!) We had a little stop for a while moment the first we encounter this thing as we found ourselves a little lito to where we will ride, but after analyzing and doing some sense of direction check.. we got the whole thing immediately, and we rode the said thing like a pro! ha!

Here’s another bus stop where we waited for a couple of minutes, the bus that brought us to Ocean Park.

And here’s the most awaited ride (as for me) … the Disney train!.. would you believe,  what I’m excited about?! it’s the Mickey Mouse handles! that I often see on blogs and sites… really love the train itself, for it’s just basically making you feel that you are about to be at the happiest place on earth in a little while! and really, it does! :D

If given a chance, we would definitely go back to HK and wouldn’t get tired of their ways of transportation! :D
