Remarks: Passengers must use the same Octopus Card to enjoy the above interchange concessions. Passengers can also use the same electronic payment instrument account to enjoy the interchange concessions between KMB departures or Citybus departures on the above routes, but cross-group (KMB↔Citybus) interchanges are not applicable. The interchange concession is not applicable to interchanges to the same route or routes divided by "/", nor is it applicable to overnight and late night bus routes. The interchange concession of $5.0 is only applicable to the Western Harbor Crossing BBI or before, but is not limited to KMB's designated combined interchange locations.

Please refer to the relevant entries on each route for details. Passengers on Routes 976 and 976A must interchange at the Western Harbour Crossing BBI. Passengers who interchange at Tai Lam Tunnel Toll Plaza cannot enjoy the interchange concessions.
