Capabilities

Tools 7

border_crossings

How busy each land and bridge crossing between Hong Kong and mainland China is right now (Lo Wu, Lok Ma Chau Spur Line, Shenzhen Bay, Heung Yuen Wai, Huanggang Port, Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge, Man Kam To, Sha Tau Kok): the Immigration Department's queue level and waiting range on the Hong Kong side, leaving and entering, for Hong Kong residents and for visitors, with how to get there and where to plan a trip to.

Discovered
get_events

Big events in Hong Kong (concerts at the major venues, sports, festivals, arts), the same list as getaroundhongkong.com/events: titles in five languages, dates, venue, coordinates, nearest MTR station, and this site's page for getting there. Filter by dates (events overlapping from–to, Hong Kong dates, YYYY-MM-DD; from today on by default) and featured (the biggest, most crowded ones).

Discovered
nearby_departures

What's leaving now from the MTR stations, bus stops and green minibus stops around a place in Hong Kong, nearest first: each route and direction once (at its nearest stop), where it's heading and the minutes until its next two departures, live from the operators. No destination needed: for "when's my bus" or "what leaves near here". Trams, ferries and Light Rail aren't included; for a trip from A to B use plan_trip.

Discovered
plan_trip

Routes between two places in Hong Kong by MTR, bus, minibus, tram and ferry, best first: departure and arrival times, every walk and ride with stops, Octopus fares for the group, live next departures, traffic delays, and a link to open the trip on a live map. Also lists Klook things to do near the destination (affiliate ads).

Discovered
search_place

Stations, stops, landmarks, restaurants (official licence list), buildings and street addresses in Hong Kong matching the text, best first, with what each is and its coordinates. Pass near to rank a chain's branches nearest to a point.

Discovered
search_routes

Hong Kong bus and green minibus routes by number, and MTR lines by name or code, the same as typing one in the site's Nearby box: where each runs between, its operator, its first and last departures by day, and this site's page for it (every stop, fares, live arrivals). A number can be several routes (route 40 is Citybus, KMB and three minibus routes in different districts): all are returned, each with its ends. Special services (a supplementary or short-working run) are left out once they have no departure left today. For travelling somewhere, use plan_trip.

Discovered
service_updates

What's disrupted right now: MTR lines reporting a delay (MTR's next-train feed) and open road incidents such as accidents, breakdowns and lane closures (Transport Department special traffic news). Empty lists mean nothing is reported. plan_trip also flags these on the options they affect.
