About the Tsim Sha Tsui – West Kowloon crossing
Ten departures a day, 70 sailings a week, fifteen minutes — and every one of them falls between 10:40 and 17:55, on a single calendar.
A service confined to seven hours of the middle of the day, with nothing in the morning or evening peaks, is not a commuter route. It is a waterfront connection for people already out.
Tsim Sha Tsui's promenade runs along the Avenue of Stars with the Hong Kong Island skyline opposite; West Kowloon is the reclaimed district that now holds the M+ museum, the Palace Museum and the high-speed rail terminus. The boat links two ends of the same harbourfront that are a considerable walk apart — fifteen minutes by water against half an hour on foot around the bay.
