The entire journey is high-speed and direct, reducing the travel time to about 25 minutes. The bus departs daily at designated locations, covering core transportation hubs such as Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui. Tourists can board the bus nearby, saving the trouble of traveling around and allowing precious holiday time to be spent on the transportation experience, rather than waiting for a long time.

What's even more cost-effective is that transportation costs are already included in the $188 per person package, so there's no need for additional expenses. Compared to the transportation cost of self travel (about $35 per person for one-way MTR+bus), the package not only saves money, but also saves time and effort, especially suitable for family outings and friends to easily embark on the first journey of the new year.
