| Trams |
Electric trams have been operating on Hong Kong Island since 1904.
The HONGKONG TRAMWAYS LIMITED operates six overlapping routes
on 13 kilometres of double track along the northern shore of Hong
Kong Island between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, and about
three kilometers of single track around Happy Valley - basically
circling the racecourse.
The company's 164 trams, including two open-balcony trams for
tourists and private hire and one special maintenance tram, make up
the world's only fully double-deck tram fleet.
The trams record an average of 232,000 passenger trips daily. Fares
are just HK$2 for adults and HK$1 for children under 12 and senior
citizens aged 65 or above.
You board the tram at the rear and exit from the front. You pay as you
alight either by cash or with the Octopus Card.
