Just announced today by Transport Dept, from their website:

11-12% more for weekday and weekend fares, and Holiday return fares from July 1st. Monthly tickets will go up by "only" 7%.

No change to Pak Kok-Aberdeen ferry fares announced yet.
For more details on some other ferry increases today:

Is the fare really going to be "$16.1" and all those others with odd numbers of cents?
If so it's going to be a pain for those using coins.

$16.1 is just 3 coins at a minimum, but there's a future SKW fare of $9.90 for elderly and disabled people: that takes at least 6 coins, usually even more.
Many people will probably just round up and throw in a 10$ coin.

Not so many will be happy to round $16.1 up to $17 though.

I remember what a drag it was paying busfares before Octopus. Always having to have lots of little coins.

I think the ticket booth will become a lot busier.

So what happened to the HK$120 million ferry subsidy?

$621, up 7% from $580.

The single tickets will go up 11%, to $16.10 and $22.30.
Definitely one more reason to get a monthly ticket.
See details of new fares here.

We'll finally get two late ferries per week now, 2:30am on Sat and Sun morning, at the same, regular fare, I believe.<HR>
On the plus side, the Pak Kok-Aberdeen ferry fares will remain stable for up to the next 3 years, according to this questionnaire distributed at the ferry pier to passengers recently:

You can click to enlarge and then print this form to choose your preferred of the 3 options for the future schedule (from Sep) and submit to Lammadonna's office. More forms are also available in her District Council office.
