Theodora Yu Published: 7:58pm, 21 Oct 2026 Star Ferry fares are set to rise by as much as HK$1.80 (23 US cents) from January after Hong Kong authorities endorsed the operator’s application for an increase, taking the cost of a weekend cross-harbour trip to up to HK$8.30. The operator, which last raised its fares in 2023, applied in March to increase charges on its two franchised routes by between 80 HK cents and HK$2 per journey.
Under a proposal approved by the Executive Council last Tuesday and announced on Wednesday, fares for the Central to Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui routes will rise from January 25 next year.
