MTR woes?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next week for a conference, and the hotel's near the MTR station. Everyone says it's super convenient, but I've heard horror stories about the crowds during rush hour. Seriou… more
It's definitely busy during rush hour, no two ways about it. Think less sardines and more… tightly packed commuters. But "horror story" level? Probably an exaggeration unless you're hitting it at the absolute peak. Hung Hom station itself isn't the busiest, so you should be okay if your conference isn't directly at the height of the morning/evening crush. Check the MTR app for real-time crowding levels – that’ll give you a much better idea than hearsay. And honestly, you’ll probably get used to it after a day or two. It’s efficient, even if it’s a bit…cozy.
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
