Hong Kong Tramways is a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow-gauge tram system in Hong Kong. The tramway runs on Hong Kong Island between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, with a branch circulating through Happy Valley. Hong Kong's tram system is one of the earliest forms of public transport in the metropolis, having opened in 1904 under British rule. It has used electric trams since its inauguration, and has never used horse or steam power. It owns the world's largest operational double-decker tram fleet, and is a very rare example of a tram system that uses them exclusively. The system is popular with tourists, and is one of the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling in the city. Hong Kong people informally call the tramway the "Ding Ding" and the trams as "Ding Dings", in reference to the double-bell ring used by the trams to warn pedestrians of their approach. Relative to buses and the subway system, trams are often the cheapest public transportation option. As of 31 July 2022, HKT fares are $3.0 for adults, $1.5 for children, and $1.3 for senior citizens. Passengers pay upon alighting by either depositing the exact fare in coins into the farebox, or by using an Octopus card.[17] Turnstiles at the tram entrances and closed circuit television prevent fare evasion by passengers. The trams run on a double-track tram line built parallel to the northern coastline of Hong Kong Island from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, with a single clockwise-running track of about 3 km (1.9 mi) around the Happy Valley Racecourse. There are six overlapping routes: Kennedy Town ↔ Happy Valley Kennedy Town ↔ Shau Kei Wan Shek Tong Tsui ↔ Causeway Bay Shek Tong Tsui ↔ North Point Western Market ↔ Shau Kei Wan Happy Valley ↔ Shau Kei Wan Sightseeing tours are available on antique-style tramcar No. 68, which has an open balcony and a historical exhibit on board. Sightseeing tram boarding and alighting take place at the sightseeing tour termini: Western Market and Causeway Bay.
