Meaning if your destination is nearby, the bus trip will be one or two stops. You have two choices, assuming both exist:Originally posted by I-like-flings(m):huh? u talking si mi? i buay understand leh
1. Take the bus that is about to reach the terminus.
2. Take the bus that just came out of the terminus.
But will both choices exist? Even if both choices exist, you wouldn't choose 2. So that bus is out of your choice.
If you are suay, you only have 2. Like if you take a bus at the terminus and your destination is 1 or 2 stops away. -
ya song.. but will try to avoid taxi unless necessary.. hehe...Originally posted by Stooky:hk taxi can sit 5 person one! in front can sit 2 passenger... song bo? -

But minibus also has flat fare system, just a matter of less or more than the double deckers only.Originally posted by autumncs:Well, besides the normal buses, there are also minibuses, which can be cheaper and faster than normal buses. However, minibuses are not popular for tourists, because the destination plates are written in Chinese only, and most of the time, the driver can only speak Cantonese...
In HK Island, you can avoid the bus totally by taking the tram.... (Tram is very cheap. HK$2 per ride only... but it's quite slow)
Not so long ago, an article on the ST forum was praising the efficient HK public transportation and the minibus was briefly mentioned.
Issit true that the minibus can stop wherever you tell the driver to stop?
In the drama it is always liddat. -
Yes... Can board from Tsim Sha Tsui East or Hung HomOriginally posted by winnie^_^:eh.. go lok wu is to go shenzhen.. am i rite? -
But HK bus fares are ex...
From Tuen Mun to Central the bus fares can cost HK$19.20 (S$3.80) -
eh .. this was covered many times in the topic.Originally posted by winnie^_^:eh.. go lok wu is to go shenzhen.. am i rite?
I think you have been told enough things, time to sit down and prioritise. Then ask for more specific information.
Not good to overload your mind with too much information. -
Well... If the weather is sunny, and there's no air pollution, you can stay in HK Island and Kowloon for your whole trip.... (HK Island and Kowloon already have many many attractions and places to shop and eat.) If the pollution is bad, you can go to the far-away places which everyone mentioned... (Lantau, Disneyland, Shatin, Shenzhen, Macau, etc)Originally posted by winnie^_^:ok thanks thanks! now i blur liao.. suddenly got few new places to go which r not in my plans.. but since u all said till like so nice.. i will consider...
For the far-away places, it's advisable to choose only one or two... because transportation is expensive in HK and travelling time is long. (If you wanna go Macau or Shenzhen, you still need to consider the time taken to clear immigration... Waiting time of more than one hour at checkpoints are not uncommon.)
If time is limited, just focus on HK Island + Kowloon (+ either Lantau Buddha and/or Disneyland).... Next time, you can always take Tiger Airways directly to Macau or Shenzhen.

huh? still dun really understand...but maybe understand half..... anyway.. if the 1 or 2 stop is short.... i will WALK, if i am in a rush, i will take CAB (since it's short distance it's cheap too) ... if it's far... most likely there's 1 bus what is serving that route.. not like sg one.. so many different service serving the same route but indirectly..Originally posted by Icemoon:Meaning if your destination is nearby, the bus trip will be one or two stops.

10 years ago, i took the mini bus!!Originally posted by Icemoon:But minibus also has flat fare system, just a matter of less or more than the double deckers only.

and they have busstops...but if you wanna get off, you have to shout 'ha yat zham yau lok!" which means "getting off next stop!" then the bus driver will stop for you
i think it has changed oledi -

Walk? They don't have concept of feeder services?Originally posted by I-like-flings(m):huh? still dun really understand...but maybe understand half..... anyway.. if the 1 or 2 stop is short.... i will WALK, if i am in a rush, i will take CAB (since it's short distance it's cheap too) ... if it's far... most likely there's 1 bus what is serving that route.. not like sg one.. so many different service serving the same route but indirectly..
The 1 or 2 stops is just an example, it can be 6 or 7 stops and the bus fare will be at its max since you take from terminus. -
I went back last year and took minibus, still can shout "yau lok"Originally posted by udontknowme:10 years ago, i took the mini bus!!
and they have busstops...but if you wanna get off, you have to shout 'ha yat zham yau lok!" which means "getting off next stop!" then the bus driver will stop for you
i think it has changed oledi
not "next stop"
can directly shout the place(even there's not station sign at that place.)
like "XXX street juntion yau lok" , "XXXX center yau lok". -
The best are the Western Harbour Crossing RtsOriginally posted by Icemoon:Walk? They don't have concept of feeder services?
The 1 or 2 stops is just an example, it can be 6 or 7 stops and the bus fare will be at its max since you take from terminus.
Bef the crossing fares is HK$18.20, once it crosses to HK Island fares become HK$5.40 -

Well.... HK's cross-harbour tunnel is more difficult to build than Sg's MRT mah... Also, the MTR's high price is supported by a high demand. Everyday during peak hour, the MTR is packed until your face is squashed against the glass window. (You cannot even move your hand to scratch your nose.)Originally posted by Icemoon:MRT also ex. To cross the tunnel (Tsim Sha Tsui to Central), the fare is around SG$2?

Btw HK people earn slightly more than Sg people, but HK people spend more on transport, housing and food.... So in the end it's around the same... -
Opps .. my memory is getting worse.Originally posted by sbst275:You mean using Tsuen Wan Line?
Let me check... HK$7.90 (S$1.50)
But still .. $1.50 can take you across half of Singapore by train. This one I'm pretty sure! -
They take consolation they have no 7% GST.Originally posted by autumncs:Btw HK people earn slightly more than Sg people, but HK people spend more on transport, housing and food.... So in the end it's around the same...
How about income tax there? Any idea? -
