And, can cab fares be paid with the Octopus card?
Can the AE fare be paid on the train with the Octopus, or do you need to obtain a ticket?
Have name and address in Traditional Chinese printed out for the cab driver. No second guessing.
Only a handful of taxis take Octopus or credit card. Literally. You need cash.
AE rides can be paid with Octopus. But you need to buy separate tickets to get round trip deals or group fares.
