The Octopus is the de facto transport pass in Hong Kong (well, it's started by the major transport companies) and commonly used in many shops, it's also used by some for building access. Octopus takes an 1.5% cut, I'm not sure if it applies to the founding transport companies but I assume the money will flow back to them anyway. Recently, some transport services started incorporating Chinese e-wallets like Alipay and WeChat Pay which utilizes QR codes, and the agony of seeing people (mainly Chinese tourists) repeatedly scan and fail at the gates blocking the whole queue during rush hours is quite depressing after years of smooth access. Cheers. |
