Hong Kong offers excellent public transport, allowing locals and tourists to chose from several options depending on their requirements. Compared to Western Standards, all modes of transportation are affordable, even cheap.
As a tourist on a leisurely exploration, you will get the most of Hong Kong's hustle and bustle by using tramways and double-decker busses as well as Star Ferries.
If you plan to go off the beaten trail and get around all by yourself, consider to invest 60 to 75 HK$ into the latest edition of the bilingual Hong Kong Directory which can be bought in bookstores.
This booklet, which is published in two different sizes of identical content, will allow you to find your own way by public transport, and in addition provide you with up-to-date maps of every conceivable part of Hong Kong.
By the way: If you ask the staff of information desks or tourist informations how to get to the New Territories by bus, they will look at you as if you had asked for a lobotomy, because being locals and perhaps also Asians, they value efficiency and convenience more than sights. Just ask again and they will provide you with the requested answer.
