It's not the first time I took the tram, but got to know more about it this time because, we were lucky in the last trip when it was a day when one could travel free in a tram the last time I took it.
The double deck tram is one of the unique features in old Hong Kong, and learnt the road in Central is also known as 电车路 because it runs across a long stretch of the road, side-by-side with buses and other road vehicles.
Sometime different from what was overseas - one has to board from the back. The automatic one-way entry prevented one from exiting from the back. It focuses the passengers to the exit by the front door where the driver is the gatekeeper.
It's a flat rate, HKD 3 - but accepts payment via Octopus cards or cash only.
The tram could be quite pack at peak hours, which I noticed that one is "allowed" to stand on the upper deck, which is usually not the case for buses.
