The Octopus Card


It seems like every city has their own version of the Pasmo. In Hong Kong, it is the Octopus card. What makes the Octopus card so special is that you can use it at the subway, busses, 7-11 stores, and vending machines. The Octopus card is basically a pre-paid card for a lot of different services.

When you purchase the Octopus card, it requires a deposit. Buying our three cards completely drained all of our local currency. We really put our faith in the Octopus card because the next thing we needed to do was to catch a bus.
