'Star' Ferry Bus Terminus^[1] (尖沙咀碼頭巴士總站, , Citybus Location Code TSF, whereas KMB and LWB Location Code 尖碼), located outside the Star Ferry Pier on Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Tsim Mong District，Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower、Between the Hong Kong Cultral Centre Performing Arts Building, Star Plaza and Harbour City's "Five Flagpoles" is one of the busiest bus termini in Hong Kong, with an average daily passenger flow of more than 30,000 people.^[2]The bus terminal adopts a traditional parallel single-row station platform design, with multiple sets of 20- to 55-meter-long bus parking bays and passenger waiting platforms, a set of 55-meter-long taxi stands, and public lanes for other vehicles; as for non-vehicle use, franchised buses are strictly prohibited from entering except those with permits.^[3]

In order to cooperate with KMB Route 6 being packaged as a "Special Shopping Tour" route, when the station announcement system of this route plays the name of this station, it will broadcast "Star Ferry Tsim Sha Tsui, Harbour City"; and Citybus named the stop "Tsim Sha Tsui (Star Ferry)" (尖沙咀 (天星碼頭)), the dynamic bus stop list shows that the name of this stop is "Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier". When the Citybus Route 20R Stop Announcement System announces this stop, the screen displays " 尖沙咀（天星碼頭）、海港城" (Tsim Sha Tsui (Star Ferry), Harbour City).
