However, the opening of the Cross Harbour Tunnel means that wallah wallahs are decreasing in popularity. Tours of the harbour and to Aberdeen and Yaumatei typhoon shelters are available by Watertours junks, and visits to outlying islands are possible by public ferry. It is more expensive than the ferry, but quicker, particularly for those travelling further into Kowloon than Tsimshatsui. They are more convenient than buying a ticket for each journey travelled, and also work out slightly cheaper. For further detials, contact the MTR information line.
Traffic drives on the left.
Routes run throughout the territory, with cross-harbour routes via the tunnel. These, however, are often very crowded. Exact change is required. Air-conditioned coaches operate along certain Hong Kong and Kowloon routes. Maxicabs, however, operate on fixed routes without fixed stops.
