One more thing the free and complementary shuttle bus service can reach Mongkok?
Urgent. Reply ASAP please.

Hi everyone, want to ask about the Airport Express Shuttle Bus Service.

The bus stops at my hotel, so I am planning to take the shuttle bus to the Kowloon Station and then get on the Airport Express to go to airport. This is for my return trip home, I already have other means of transport when arrive there.

I have looked at the details posted here, and it says that:

Before boarding, please show proof of eligibility including Airport Express train tickets (Single Journey, Same Day Return, Round Trip, Airport Express Travel Pass), Airline ticket / boarding pass, Airport Staff Octopus, AsiaWorld-Expo entry pass or event ticket.

If I have not bought the Airport Express train ticket yet, is it okay to show my flight booking confirmation or something like that to board the bus?

Thanks.

The "Airport Express Shuttle Bus Service" don't see the ticket from hotel to Kowloon Station. But what other transport u plan to use? Please share.

But got one time due to rain, I want sit from hotel A to hotel B, they don't allow.

Cheapest transport to the airport ever!

From Causeway Bay any stop name or landmark to sit bus to HKIA for HKD 4.40.

From Citigate to HKIA already HKD 3.80 per way.

I suggest take the western route from Causeway Bay Patterson Street (or anywhere you like) towards Western market. Choose the newer tram where the top front seat is empty, facing front and not facing sideways. This is important so at least 2-4x people can sit facing front.

Take the morning/day time as you can see things better, rather than at night. Don't expect to have a good view of IFC2, HSBC, etc. as the buildings are just too tall. For this, better goto TST there at night.

What can you see ... let's see on the western bound route. The goose-neck-bridge where it is famous to hit "small people"  tongue.gif  right opposite Wan Chai fire station, under the bridge. If it is the correct month/date, you can see activities there (the blue bus under the bridge there).

Next, nothing much in Wan Chai -> Admiralty. Some non-interesting stuff such as this building at Marsh road one of the old/heritage building where the owner/buyer wants to tear down and a big protest from HK people to retain it.  yawn.gif Oh yeah, at night there is one nice snack here  rolleyes.gif

Turn into Johnston road, right in front of Wan Chai MTR, opposite is a small lane Tai Yuen street, something like Petaling street. Wan Chai market is here. Oldest ex-post office is here. Blue house is here. Famous snake soup is here as well.

All the way until it starts to enter Central, turning, passing by the old Bank of China, it starts to get interesting again. Look left, HSBC. Be quick to snap the lions  laugh.gif  They have an empty wide space at ground floor, sometimes can see protest, people camping, or old uncles/aunties queue up for some promo stuff, longer than our iPhone launch queue  rclxub.gif

Then you know you reach Central as those branded names around all those buildings. Nothing much here, just tall buildings, and shopping.

If you stop at Jubilee street and walk up, that's the Central wet-market. Then got the Lan Fong Yuen here. Or the wan tan mee. Or the dumpling. Or that Tomato spaghetti thing??? At night got Dai Pai tong here as well, around these streets.

ok, back to tram. It will continue travel westward along Dex Voeux Road Central passing by Sheung Wan MTR. Now, this is the reason to travel west and sit facing front, you will reach Western Market terminus and see this.

You may continue ride all the way, but nothing much already, all the way to Kennedy Town.

Westward can take Western Market, Kennedy Town, Shek Tong Sui, Whitty Street Depot trams.

If you go east ward, there is nothing much view when pass by Sogo. Check the link, Sogo on your left. Patterson street station is at the furthest front just in front of the green traffic lights after that big zebra crossing.

Going further east towards North Point, all the way to Shau Kei Wan, nothing much to see as well. There is another wet-market at Shau Kei Wan terminus. Unless you got time to burn like me.

Also, if you going westward from Causeway Bay, don't take Happy Valley as it will turn there halfway along the route.
Vice versa if going eastward from Central, don't take Happy Valley if you want to go Causeway Bay. You can take Causeway Bay, Northpoint, Sai Wan Ho, Shau Kei Wan, etc.

I am so confused to sit tram. Don't know which tram to take from eg from Sheung Want to IFC.
Later we asked people all can take except Western Market tram. But how we know which nearby stop to go down eg IFC. That time the local ppl instructed us where to drop.
