Hello bro and sis, I will be going to HK tis Fri. (4D3N) Juz wonder, which 1 is more worth. Octopus Card (HK$): * Adult: Deposit $50 + Stored Value $100 = Price HK$150 OR Airport Express Tourist Octopus: * Airport Express One Free Single Journey + 3 days unlimited travel on MTR + $50 deposit + Stored value $20 = Price HK$220 * Airport Express Two Free Single Journeys # + 3 days unlimited travel on MTR + $50 deposit + Stored value $20 = Price HK$300 And as for the HK prepaid data sim card, is it HK$88 for 7 day data access rite? Inside got credit? Available in micro sim? for iPhone4. Thanks!  |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ May 16 2012, 01:51 PM) it depends on u whether do u travel tat much on MTR or nt and do u wanna travel frm airport to the city n vice versa by airport express or nt. if u purchase airport express travel pass on9 and using HSBC credit card u r entitle for cheaper price.. u can haf consecutive 3 days unlimited travel on MTR without need to top up. it's better to use octopus card if u travel less on MTR. octopus card can be use on other things beside MTR Thanks for ur reply n nice info ya.  hmm.. I'm not sure o. Is it all the places we can reach by MTR? Or some places we need to take bus? This post has been edited by aarex: May 16 2012, 02:23 PM |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ May 16 2012, 02:34 PM) mostly tourist destination n shopping complex can be reach my MTR.. unless u wanna go until outskirt places la..  sit bus is cheaper n oso buses stop at places tat MTR located quite a distance frm it Haha...I think I only will go those tourist places n shopping complex bah. Hmm..thn is it getting the Airport Express Tourist Octopus is more worth? Since its 3 consecutive days of unlimited travel on the MTR, the Light Rail and MTR Bus. +1 designated journeys on the Airport Express for HK$220 ones.  Thanks!

QUOTE(Ami Tsun @ May 16 2012, 04:15 PM) IMO, the unlimited travel is only worth it if one intend to travel multiple long distance journey on MTR, for all 3 days, eg from Mongkok to Tung Chung, where each way may cost HKD16+, or taking bus from HK island side to New Territories which may cost around HKD15. So, to know if it's worth it or not, it is better to plan your itinerary first, and find out how to go to the places you plan to visit. Then use the MTR website's journey planner to find out the train fare, or the bus website to find out the bus fare. Then decide what is worth.  U r rite. If only multiple long distance journey on MTR only worth. Will plan my itinerary first thn only decide. Oh ya, how about Disneyland ticket? Is it better to purchase on9 first or go thr only buy? I juz worry long Q.  Thanks! |
