Transport Department adds AlipayHK to fare subsidy scheme

Single journey fares paid with AlipayHK will be recorded in the AlipayHK account.

The Transport Department added AlipayHK to the Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme starting 1 January 2025, allowing citizens an extra electronic payment option.

When members of the public pay for single journey fares with AlipayHK EasyGo or take MTR services by using the QR code on the ‘MTR Mobile’ application with AlipayHK, the fares will be eligible for the calculation of fare subsidies.

Single journey fares paid with AlipayHK will be automatically recorded in the relevant AlipayHK account.

From the 16th of each month, AlipayHK users can collect the subsidy of the previous month via the AlipayHK mobile application. The period for collecting the subsidy is three months.
