City of Prosperity
The Star Ferry traces its origins to 1880 when Dorabjee Naorojee Mithaiwala, a Parsee cook, embarked on a new vocation. He began a ferry service across Victoria Harbour with his steamboat, the Morning Star. The fledgling service was known as the Kowloon Ferry Company.
A local newspaper reported in 1888 that the ferry ran at all hours between Pedders Wharf and Tsim Shat Tui on a 40-minute to one-hour trip.
On Mondays and Fridays, the service halted for the boat’s coaling. By 1890, the Kowloon Ferry boasted four single-deck Star Ferries. Later on, the ferries acquired a second deck. It was used to be HKD0.05 in 1950's and was increased to HK$0.1 riot and demonstration was made for those lower income people.
Now adult fare is HKD2.20. it is still very cheap... Make a trip to cross the harbour in 5 minutes.
