When can I collect the public transport fare subsidy?

Starting from the 16th of each month, commuters can collect the public transport fare subsidy of the previous month by tapping their Octopus through the following channels.  The subsidy will be credited to the Octopus automatically.  To allow sufficient time for commuters to collect subsidy, the subsidy of each month is valid for collection within three months.

Subsidy collection channels include –

• Subsidy Collection Points installed at each MTR station, light rail customer service centre and designated ferry piers; 
• All outlets of 7-Eleven, Circle-K and Wellcome supermarket;
• Octopus App (only applicable to NFC-enabled Android mobile devices or iOS mobile devices complemented with Octopus Mobile Reader); and
• Octopus Service Points.
