Comparing the two transit apps to help you pick the right one for Hong Kong.
| Citymapper | MTR Mobile | |
|---|---|---|
| Description | Best all-round Hong Kong journey planner for combining MTR, buses, minibuses, trams, ferries and walking. | Official MTR app for rail routes, fares, journey times, interchange platforms, service information and tourist tickets. |
| Essential? | Yes | No |
| Pro Tip | Use it for the first route, then confirm a late service, disruption or unusual minibus with MTR Mobile, HKeMobility or the operator. | Use the app for current rail details, not to manage an Octopus balance. Linking a card is mainly part of the MTR account and points system. |
