Stage 2.2

This scheme is applicable for students in Hong Kong aged 12 – 25 who attend their classes for not less than 20 hours each week during term time.

The Automatic Fare Collection system would only charge Student Privileged Fares from “Student Status” owners. While the “Status” feature is exclusive for Personalised Octopus cards, the definition of a certain “Status” may change according to the cardholder’s age or according to the social norm.

Therefore, qualified passengers are required to bring their form to any Customer Service Centre or Light Rail Customer Service Centre in order to activate their “Student Status” or get your school’s endorsement to prove your “Student Status” is still valid.
