Hong Kong boasts many success stories.

The world's longest suspension bridge
The world's busiest container port
More Mercedes Benz limousines per capita than any other country

Nevertheless, none of these has captured more public interest and applause than the pocket-size Octopus, an electronic payment system that offers an easy and hassle-free way to travel, dine and buy around busy Hong Kong.

Octopus applications have extended beyond public transport to carparks, fast food outlets, convenience stores, supermarkets, vending machines, pay phones, leisure facilities and schools. What's more, it has also been introduced successfully in non-payment uses such as access control.
