HK nighttime buses

Anyone know if there are buses from Central to CC after the MTR shuts down? If so, where to catch them? Thanks

Go via DB

I'm assuming you need this information so that you can get home to the Headland Hotel after a night on the pi55.

Catch the ferry to DB (pier 3), then the DB - Airport bus which stops at kitty City.

The bonus is that while you're waiting in the DB plaza, 7-11 is open 24hrs, with a fridge full of beer.

For the taxi from Central to Cathay Pathetic/Headland you should be able to get it down to a fare of around 230-260Hkg. Either find one you can call when required or tell them 20% off. Almost all of them used do 20% off. If one says no - just take the next one. It may have changed these days - I dont know.

Cool

But REALLY REAL people in Hong Kong catch the 'BUS OF SHAME' which is when you thought you were catching the N11, but end up catching the A11 along with all the dayworking blunties, who look in horror at you drooling in your (drunken) kip in the back left hand corner of the bus..... (not that I hav ever done this, just been told about it of course.....)
