Transport In Hong Kong Part 2
This time I will write about more transports in Hong Kong
1. Minibus
Minibus are 16 seats buses operated by lots of companies. They go to many places and is much more quicker than buses and MTR. The trips are very unstable and you need to risk on no seats and traffic jams. You also need to shout out 'stop at xxx (e.g.parking lot in front)' to get off.
Not all the drivers know English so if you want to get off. you may need to get help from other passengers.
There are 2 types of minibus
Green Minibus
More stable, safer and have stops. But less routes and slower.
Red Minibus
Very unstable trips, you need to do what you do to get a taxi to get on the Red minibus. But it is faster. Also, it is more expensive.
Not recommend for new tourists
Taxi
