"Light Rail Transit (LRT)" Top 5 Page for this destination Hong Kong Transportation Tip by gloopgloop

The Light Rail is a streetcar system that provides transit service in and between the New Territories towns of Tuen Mun and Yuen Long.

The system relies on an open-fare system and does not use payment turnstiles. Riders using Octopus cards must place their card over the fare box at the Light Rail stop before getting on the streetcar. When they get off the streetcar, they must put the card over the fare box again to deduct the fare. Alternatively, fare tickets can be purchased from machines located at each stop. Ticket inspectors inspect train tickets and Octopus cards along the route and at the stops.

The Light Rail has become a line for the newly opened West Rail trains. Commuters can travel for free on the Light Rail if they transfer to the West Rail or vice versa.
