The Octopus card for the Hong Kong subway is a great way to save money on public transport in Hong Kong.
An Octopus card costs 50 HKD as an initial deposit, most of which you will get back at the end of your trip when you return it. You can purchase an Octopus card in any Hong Kong subway station.
The deposit for an Octopus card is 150 HKD. The card will allow you to get a discount on a regular fare on the Hong Kong subway. The Octopus card can also be used on the famous Star Ferry between Kowloon Bay and Hong Kong.
Octopus cards can be used for non-transport purposes as well. For example, you can use your Octopus card to pay for small items in many coffee shops in Hong Kong.
