A21 Bus Return Ticket Purchase at HKG

On previous trips I used the Airport Express.

This next trip will be best served by the A21 bus. I noticed a discount for purchasing a return ticket at the "Airport Ground Transportation Center" or at the "Citibus/New World First Bus Customer Service Centre".

Exactly where is this ticket counter?

Also, can I obtain a (loaned) Octopus card at the same window or must I stop by the Airport Express counter for that?

I believe the discount is only for same day return using Octopus Card. $33 on the outbound and $16.50 on the "Same Day" return.

http://www.hongkong.net/transportati...irport/bus/a21 states that the prepaid return ticket is available that is good for 90 days.

It only save a couple of US dollars, though.

I seem to recall that the "service centre" is a small kiosk at the bus stand area.

Walk out of the airport terminal towards the bus terminus. Once you get there, start walking to the left and the kiosk will be located there. You won't be able to see it in the distance as you are walking out of the airport terminal as the kiosk is essentially built into the Airport Express' building but once you start walking to the left once you've reached the bus terminus, you will see it.

I didn't know about this but it seems to be real: http://www.nwstbus.com.hk/fareConces...52&intLangID=1

I'll check it out next week. Could have saved a lot of money over the past few years.
