Also, I think you have a problem with your previous math:



Assuming that you're talking about going to Hong Kong station from the airport both ways, the $120 figure you calculate above does not take into account the $50 refundable deposit for the card, which is built into the stated Travel Pass price and not an additional fee. If you refund the deposit, then your break-even point for 4 days of MTR travel is down to $70.
AH, I forgot about that. Thanks for pointing that out!^
