Hong Kong boasts one of the most efficient, safe, and highly utilized public transportation networks in the world, with over 90% of daily journeys made on public transit. The backbone of the system is the Mass Transit Railway (MTR), a pristine and extensive subway and commuter rail network. This is supplemented by iconic double-decker buses, public light buses (minibuses), and the historic "Ding Ding" double-decker trams on Hong Kong Island.
Maritime transport remains crucial, most notably the historic Star Ferry crossing Victoria Harbor, as well as extensive ferry routes connecting the outlying islands and Macau. Internationally, Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) at Chek Lap Kok is a major global aviation hub. The city is also highly walkable, featuring extensive networks of elevated pedestrian walkways that connect transport hubs, residential estates, and shopping malls.
