E-payment System
KMB and LWB keep a close eye on the market trend in technology. Given the growing popularity of the e-payment system in Hong Kong, we have rolled out the e-payment system for passengers' convenience in fare payment. Payment methods including contactless, mobile payment, and QR codes are accepted, and all interchange discounts and regional section fares are covered.

KMB has installed a one-stop fare reader at the bus stops supporting section fares. The way to enjoy the discount is the same as using an Octopus card. Passengers must pay the full fare by tapping their credit cards, using their mobile devices, or scanning the QR codes when boarding the bus. After alighting, tap the same credit card or mobile device, or scan the QR codes on the reader at designated bus stops to enjoy fare discounts.

  1. The e-payment system reader placed close to the Octopus reader is present to adult fare. Children or the elderly should press the button on the reader's top right or choose an appropriate bus fare option on its app to enjoy a half-fare discount.
  2. Contactless payment: Tap the credit card at the bottom of the reader.
  3. Mobile payment: Use the e-wallet at the bottom of the reader.
  4. QR Code payment: scan the QR code of the mobile payment app on the camera at the top of the reader.
  5. The reader will make a beeping sound and show "Welcome Aboard" to indicate the completed transaction.
Q1. Can I use one e-payment method to pay for several bus fares?
A1. Yes, passengers may use a single e-payment method to pay for several bus fares. However, please note that five minutes are required between each transaction. Hence, passengers can use their different credit cards or e-wallets to pay one by one without having to wait five minutes.

Q2. Can I enjoy the Bus-bus Interchange Discount Scheme through the new system?
A2. Bus-bus Interchange Discount Schemes of some KMB routes and LWB A routes are applicable to the new system. Passengers must use the same credit card or e-payment account for designated routes to enjoy the second leg discount. If the payment methods for the two journeys are different, the interchange discount will not be available for the second leg.

Q3. Can I enjoy the Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme or the Government's $2 Fare Concession Scheme for the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities through the new system?
A3. It is not currently possible to enjoy the subsidy and the concession through the new system, as the Government schemes do not cover e-payment. Similarly, fares paid in cash are not included in the schemes. To receive the relevant subsidy or enjoy the discount, please pay with Octopus.

Q4. What can I do when an invalid payment happens?
A4. Please use another payment method to pay for the bus fare and inform the relevant e-payment supplier.
Please consult the relevant e-payment supplier in the case of invalid payment.

Passengers may call the KMB Customer Service Hotline on 2745-4466 or Live Chat with us on App1933 for other issues on E-payment
