Octopus card Travel Reviews

Apr 27, 2007
The octopus card is offer in every metro station and right off the airport. You can pay every kind of transport there is with it and save at the same time.

Our suggestion;

TAKE IT!

We personely took the 150 HKD card travel in the MRT for 3 days with it and still had 33 HKD in the end on it.We don't think you should take the 220$ one unless your really think you'll use the express train To or From the airport or that you'll spend your time in the MRT (the bus is 33 HKD and you get to see HK before you leave).
