Hong Kong launches one-day unlimited ride bus pass for travellers

KMB rolls out single-day unlimited ride bus pass for tourists
Travellers can purchase the all-day pass via KMB’s ‘App1933’ mobile application. Alternatively, the pass is also available at any of the 19 designated sales points across the city including the airport, Lok Ma Chau bus station, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge bus terminus.

To purchase the pass, look for the ‘eCoin’ section on the app. Travellers need to enter the first four digits of their passport number to complete the transaction process. Then, simply activate the pass, which will be available for use within 24 hours. Show the QR code on the app upon boarding.

Passengers can pay with electronic payment methods such as VISA, MasterCard, AlipayHK, Alipay, WeChat Pay, BoC Pay and UnionPay.


Those who purchase the pass in person at any of the sales points must present a valid passport to the staff. Then, they will receive a card with a 16-digit activation code. Enter the code into the KMB app to activate the pass.

Hong Kong visitor arrivals increase by 40 per cent
As of March 2024, the number of visitor arrivals to Hong Kong was about 3.4 million, a 40 per cent yearly increase. In total, about 11.23 million travellers have visited the city in the first quarter of the year.

This is great news for the tourism industry, which hopes that the visitor numbers will return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of the year. With attractive initiatives and campaigns such as the new Temple Street Night Market and the monthly fireworks, now is the best time to travel to Hong Kong.
