Simply tap your Octopus over the Fare Deducting Reader at the entry or exit gate of any MTR station.
To make your life easier, we allow you to continue using your Octopus until it has a residual value of -HK$35 or below. Any negative balance will be deducted the next time you add value.
Please remember to take good care of your Octopus and don't let it get scratched, written on or bent. Always keep your card well away from metal coins, studs and zippers.
Never place two cards(either Octopus and/or MTR Smart Ticket) onto the Fare Deducting Reader at the same time.
If your Octopus is rejected by a Fare Deducting Reader, please wait until the passenger indication light stops flashing before retapping the card again. If the problem persists, please ask a member of MTR staff for assistance.
Never place on electronic equipment such as your digital diary close to the fare deducting reader.
When seated, please make sure your Octopus is not in your back pocket as it will bend the card and damage its delicate microchip.
Remember to make sure your Octopus has sufficient/a positive value before you attempt to enter an MTR gate.
