Octopus in Hong Kong cannot be used by two people. Hong Kong's Octopus is a contactless smart card, which is very convenient to use in electronic money. The operation is simple. Brush once inside the subway station and once outside the station. There are gates in and out of the station, so it is impossible for two people to use them at the same time. One card per person.

When you take a tram or bus with a one-time fare payment, you can brush it again in a few minutes or after the next person finishes. This situation is ok in principle, but standing in front of the car to block the door is generally not allowed by the driver, and it is not convenient for me.

If you buy things in convenience stores, supermarkets, fast food restaurants and department stores, you can of course brush things together.

However, it is suggested that one card per person is convenient and fast, and you can not only take the bus, but also buy things.

Extended data:

Octopus system is the first electronic payment system developed by Hong Kong and widely used in the world, and it is also the most successful electronic payment system of its kind in the world so far.

Octopus card itself is a cash card, with a maximum recharge of HK$ 65,438+0,000. It can replace tickets, boat tickets, boat tickets, debit cards, credit cards, ID cards, access cards, library cards and so on. Although it cannot be used in all occasions where cash or bank cards can be used, it is widely used in Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, everyone has about two Octopus cards on average. Visitors from other places mainly use anonymous, non-loss-reporting and leased Octopus cards (because they are leased cards, they have to pay a deposit and return them in full).

If you use the Octopus card, it is as convenient to take the MTR as it is to use a one-day pass or other MTR tickets, and all of them are swiped into the station. The advantages of Octopus are:

1. Not limited to subway use. It can also be used when taking buses, ferries, tickets for shopping attractions and shopping in shopping malls.

2. Take Octopus and enjoy a 10% discount. On the segmented bus, only passengers who use Octopus can enjoy the lower segmented fare. Only by swiping a special Octopus card can the elderly enjoy the ride discount.

Octopus has other benefits. These offers are automatically given to you, and you don't need to know for yourself.

You can choose not to return your card when you leave Hong Kong, and you can continue to use it when you return to Hong Kong within two or three years. If it is more than three years (I remember it is 1000 days), although the card will not expire, it needs to be reactivated to continue using it.
