HKeTransport: a Multi-modal Public Transport Route Search Platform

Public transport is the only or preferred way of local travel for most commuters in Hong Kong, yet there was a lack of an information platform that covering different modes of public transport.

HKeTransport, a multi-modal public transport route search platform, was developed as a result of a collaboration between Transport Department and PolyU. It covers multiple transport modes, including railway, bus, mini-bus, ferry and tram. Key features of the system include provision of multi-modal information, operating times and route solutions using geomatics technology. Users can search for route solutions and sort search results by criteria such as time, fare, number of interchanges, etc.

HKeTransport has been incorporated with in HKeMobility, a one stop platform established by the Transport Department for both road users and public transport passengers to access needed information via a mobile app or a website.
