Hi, Today video is about Hong Kong Tramways (香港電車).

The tram route :

The tram runs an east–west route along the north shore of Hong Kong Island, from the western terminus in Kennedy Town to the eastern terminus in Shau Kei Wan. There is one loop which goes specifically to Happy Valley to take people to the Happy Valley Racecourse. Each tram stop has a name, though it can be hard to see the signs and know where to get off.

Know your destination :

So, how to get around by tram? The front of every tram shows its destination, so you just need to know if you are going east or west. The ones going to Western Market, are, obviously, heading west through Central, as are the Shek Tong Tsui and Kennedy Town trams. The ones going to Causeway Bay, North Point and Shau Kei Wan are all heading east.

How to pay :

Because of the flat fare of HK$2.60, it doesn’t matter where or when you get off, the price is the same. But be aware the conductors do not give change, so you’ll either need coins or an Octopus card. Senior citizens get half price so watch out for grumpy grannies wielding umbrellas and trolleys of vegetables—they are fierce and fast.
