Hong Kong : airport to Hong Kong island or Kowloon city

Getting to Hong Kong island from the airport

I know most people would hop on the airport express. It is highly efficient and clean. A perfect choice for those in the rush. The airport express fare can be paid via the Octopus card. It costs hkd$100 (approximately sgd$17). Fairly reasonable price.

However, if you would like to save your monies for some good food in HK and have time, I would like to propose a good and cheap alternative.

Do consider the bus!! 

For those who are going to Hong Kong island, consider taking E21 or A11. E21 is cheaper as it takes longer with more stops in between. The A11 gets you to Sheung Wan in 40mins. This will set you back at hkd$21 and hkd$40 respectively.

Please check (insert website) for the latest information.

Note if you take the wee hours flight from Scoot to maximize your day in HK, do note that the A11 bus only operates from 6am while the E21 bus operates from 5.20am. Nonetheless in a city that never sleeps, there is food available in the airport even in the wee hours. So don't worry, you won't starve!
