How to take a night bus in Hong Kong

Hong Kong action doesn’t stop after midnight, and neither does city transport.

When daytime bus routes stop at midnight, night owls can use a night bus service available throughout the city, including Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, and Lantau Island. There are also routes to the Macau ferry port and Hong Kong airport, the latter being ideal for travelers flying on red-eye flights.

What you need to know about Hong Kong night buses

Hong Kong night buses, with route numbers starting with ‘N’, cover most major routes and end at an MTR station or major transportation hub.

Passengers need not worry: these buses are safe, well lit and clean. Travelers must use an Octopus card or exact change to pay, as drivers do not give change.

Route information for night buses is displayed in English at stops and the destination is displayed on the front of the bus. There will be automatic announcements about stops in English. The driver is unlikely to speak English.

Like most cities, night buses run less frequently than during the day (generally every 30 minutes) and run longer routes than their equivalents during the day.

Where to catch the Hong Kong night bus

There are a couple of key points for taking the bus.

The bus terminal in Central is the busiest in Hong Kong and is located below the IFC shopping center. Further on on Hong Kong Island, the Admiralty Bus Station is also a major stop for night buses and can be found next to the subway station of the same name. This is close to Wan Chai.

Across the water, most buses start and end at the station in front of the Star Tsim Sha Tsui ferry, but they also stop in Mongkok. Beyond that, Diamond Hill is another popular term and Sha Tin is the service center in the New Territories.

Important night bus routes

The N11 serves most of the key areas; touring Sheung Wan, Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay before crossing the bay to Hung Hom, Tsim Sha Tsui and Jordan and then heading to the airport. Because this is an airport bus, the fare is a bit higher.

If you are heading to the airport, the airport express train starts early and ends late, it is much faster than taking the bus.

The N8 traverses the north coast of Hong Kong Island, from Wan Chai, through Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay to Heng Fa Chuen.

The N21 departs from the Macau ferry terminal at Sheung Wan via Central and Wan Chai before crossing the port to Tsim Sha Tsui.

The N118 runs from Aberdeen on Hong Kong Island via Wan Chai and Causeway Bay to Tsim Sha Tsui before continuing through Kowloon and ending at Sha Tin.

Other ways to get around Hong Kong after midnight

The MTR runs from around 6 a.m. M. Until 12:30 and 1:00 a. M., According to the station.

If you need to move after that, then a taxi is worth considering. While there is nothing wrong with night bus service, taxis are cheap in Hong Kong and you will find a lot at night. It is worth noting that most taxis will not cross the port.

Trams and day buses stop around midnight. Renting a car in Hong Kong gives you the option to drive anywhere at any time, albeit at the highest cost per mile.
