Shuttle bus time table (Shuttle bus is for visiting the Central Campus, New Asia College, United College and Shaw College only. Do not take shuttle bus if you go to the conference venue from the Univeristy MTR Station. For details, please click here.)

4. Octopus Card

Most public transport requires exact change in Hong Kong. To make travelling easy, we recommend using Octopus Card.

Octopus is an electronic ticketing system. The rechargeable Optopus Card can be used virtually on all public transportations in Hong Kong, including the MTR system, almost all buses (including all Airport Buses), and the ferries. You simply swipe your Octopus Card over the Fare Deducting Processor when passing through the ticket gates or boarding the buses. Most fast food chains and campus canteens also accept payment by Octopus Cards.

The Octopus Card can be purchased at the customer services centre of any MTR Stations and at the Shatin Central Bus Terminus. When you purchase an Octopus Card, a refundable deposit of HK$50 is included. The remaining value (if no more than HK$500) and the deposit can be refunded on-the-spot at any MTR Stations. However, a fee of HK$7 will be charged.
