Hello, today is Hong Kong Lunch's
How far have you been in Hong Kong?
Today, we're starting
- In Jordan - Right
The reason why we started here is that
There are many accommodations
and hotels here
That's why tourists
often start their journey from here
One great thing about
taking a bus is that
most routes
either end at
- Tsim Sha Tsui Pier - Right
or at least
they pass through it
- So buses are frequent - Right
The bus we're waiting for
[Detailed bus information]
We're waiting for
Bus No. 1
1A
Both of them go there
Actually, buses like
No. 6
and 234P from near by stop
- also go there - Right
I think there's a lot
But one downside is that
Hong Kong buses
don't offer transfers
That's right
[Transportation costs increase]
So, there's no transferring
within 30 minutes
- like on the subway - Right x2
These days
bus accept Octopus
and cash
Even they take Alipay
WeChat Pay
and even Visa
- or Mastercard - Right
But on the other hand
- Not all buses take them - Right
It depends on the bus
Everyone is changing to
Bus No. 2
Because this is also
goes to Tsim Sha Tsui Pier
Everyone was lined up here at first
but suddenly they all moved over there
[FCFS]
But before that
we wanted to show you something first
so we're staying here
Through the app
you can actually
check
when the next bus arrives
Like this
it just shows
a list of all the bus information
around this area
There are so many buses
This area has really
a lot of buses
Passersby might wonder
why we're standing here for 15 minutes
They might think we're silly
Because we're only waiting
for one specific bus
Everyone else already switched
to bus No. 6 and No. 2
That shows how frequent the buses are here
Yeah, that's right
[Convenience]
[Boarding]
[Paying with Octopus card]
[Door closing sound]
Be careful
Bus leaves right away
Buses don't wait for people
in Hong Kong
[Seated on second floor]
[Charm of double-decker bus]
[Enjoying the view]
It must be amazing for first-timers
- on a double-decker bus - Yeah, totally
And you really need to sit
- at the very front to see the view - That's right
Is anyone sitting there now?
- Looks like it - Yeah, there is
Those front seats are really popular
Yes
Because they have the best view
[Tsim Sha Tsui]
[Arrived at final stop]
[Carefully]
This has been Hong Kong Lunch's
How far have you been in Hong Kong?
It was a 'Bus' episode
Bye bye
HKL's three-line review 〈'Bus' episode〉
1. A bus route to every corner of Hong Kong
2. Even if you don't know the language, as long as you have your phone, it's fine
3. The view from the second floor is a bonus
