How to apply for Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme?

There is no need to apply for the Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme.

From 1 January 2020, the Government has enhanced the Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme by increasing the fare subsidy rate from one-fourth to one-third of public transport expenses in excess of $400 and raising the subsidy cap from $300 to $400 per month per Octopus.

From 1 January 2025, in addition to Octopus, AlipayHK is incorporated into the Public Transport Fare Subsidy Scheme. There will be no change to the existing arrangements for recording, calculating and collecting subsidies via Octopus. Public transport expenses recorded separately under the AlipayHK account and Octopus cannot be combined for the calculation of public transport fare subsidies.
