Hong Kong down, last September, it was never bored. Orderly streets withoutpolice guard whilepocketing the ticket. There are no stories of speeding and overtaking lane cross-crucify. All the riders on the track consistentlyused since the beginning, and there is no driverran a red light, even very obedient with incidentalsigns 'stop and go' who held officersroad works.
Interestingly, on the streets of Hong Kong are not always concrete wide (and even many of them small alley), allin an orderly manner so that transport can nosevere congestion that could takemany hours on the road. The whole mode of transportation in tandem without fear of losing passengers. Public transport, such as trams, buses, minibuses and taxis, to get through the same pathway, and all have their own passengers.
"Trams and buses together through the same pathway. The evidence is equally no passengers, look!, "piped up one among our group, last week.
Intrigued by Hong Kong public transport, we finallytried to climb the storied city bus with the roof open or there called a sightseeing bus.There are two routemetropolis. That heritage routes and metropolis routes. Heritage routes acrossthe outposts tend to Hong Kong, while the other route through the urbanarea of the concrete country.
We also chose a heritage route because I wanted to see life beyond the glitzy urbanHong Kong. Ticket prices pegged to50 Hong Kong dollars or approximately USD6.5 way.
At first glance it may look expensive. However, as a tourist, ride public transit option is much cheaper than taking a bustour is similar to almost the same route, butin the stakes for350 Hong Kong dollars or approximately USD44.5 way.
Departing from the Central (Star Ferry), bus without a roof-so that we can freely enjoy a briskwalk slowly across the Hong Kong-a number of locations, such as regional Western Market, Queen Street, Man Mo Temple, Old CentralPolice Station, Dr. Sut Yat Sen Museum ,MacauFerry, and back to Central.
Who knows how many bus mileage, but travel time approximately 50 minutes.During that time, we were indeed treated routesover the city, from across the high-rise buildings to combsuch a narrow street gang (approximately 4 meters) in the densely populated.
However, once again, interestingly thereis no jam though narrow road taken. Several times we passed with public citybus and tram had the same passenger.
"Maybe that's why all kinds of differentroutes of public transport can walk and there is always demand. Perhaps the transportationsystem is verygood and comprehensive, "we went back out through the awe- babble light.
Travel Options
Decker bus withopen roof is pulled again and not just be a tourist option, but also a choice of local communities to take her to the destination. Several times the bus drop off passengersalong the way. Not a few travelers choose to enjoy "general tour" was to return to the post of departure. Apparently, public transportation can be a mode oftransportation home travel conditions are suitable.
However, do not imagine the condition rundownbus with seats that started torn and broken glass, as we find in the modes of transportation in Indonesia.Bus is veryclean, odorless, clear and safe. Not found casually smokingpassengers regardless of other passengers.
Buses depart from the post departure starting at 10:00 to 17:30 local time. No need to worry about missing the bus as public transport departs every 30minutes.
Our admiration was continued to another day when we try to one of the tourist attractions there, namely ThePeak or VictoriaPeak, using the tram.
By paying more for less 35HKD, we can enjoy the thrill of ridingtram slant routes with up to 50 ᵒ towards tourist (tram prices and businto the path of travel is more expensive than the price of a tram general one-way price of just 2-3HKD).
Trams are already operates more than 120 years it was capable of carrying about 30 passengers at a speed of 40 km per hour. Public transport time was very decent condition. Clean, no smoking passengers home, safe, neat seat, and the paint was new. Very comfortable.
Just 15 minutes away, arrived at the destination, the Victoria Peak. Here we can see Hong Kong from a height of 396 meters above sea level. In the sights that have been developed since the 1960's, we can enjoy the Madame Tussauds waxmuseum. Here visitors can see wax statues and theidol world leaders, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Tom Cruise, andPiere Brosman.
Ah, even if brief, experience of enjoying public transportation in Hong Kong does not disappoint. Passengers are pampered with a very comfortable bus. One lesson, public transport can be a tourist transport and vice versa. Hong Kongteach, mass transit should not ragged..... (HDG).
