Meaning if your destination is nearby, the bus trip will be one or two stops. You have two choices, assuming both exist:

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.

But minibus also has flat fare system, just a matter of less or more than the double deckers only. Laughing

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? Mr. Green In the drama it is always liddat.

sbst275 SG

Yes... Can board from Tsim Sha Tsui East or Hung Hom

sbst275 SG

But HK bus fares are ex...

From Tuen Mun to Central the bus fares can cost HK$19.20 (S$3.80)

Icemoon SG

eh .. this was covered many times in the topic. Smile

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)

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. Very Happy

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..

10 years ago, i took the mini bus!! Laughing
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 Embarassed

sbst275 SG

HK buses only has flat fare, you think they so good like SBS got dist related fares har? Laughing

Icemoon SG

MRT also ex. To cross the tunnel (Tsim Sha Tsui to Central), the fare is around SG$2?

Crazy la .. our MRT cross to Marina South from Raffles Place how much only?

I-like-flings(m) SG

not everywhere lah.. usually at the standard stop... which got no bus stop one lah.. so look like can stop anywhere.. if not usually at traffic light also can lor.... other ulu ulu place then see the driver mood lor.. if he se u tourist look he will let u go down lor.. if not.. he fcuk u up side down for joking with him lor.. Laughing

sbst275 SG

You mean using Tsuen Wan Line?

Let me check... HK$7.90 (S$1.50)

Icemoon SG

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.

mochou SG

I went back last year and took minibus, still can shout "yau lok"
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".

sbst275 SG

The best are the Western Harbour Crossing Rts

Bef the crossing fares is HK$18.20, once it crosses to HK Island fares become HK$5.40 Laughing
