Hong Kong International Airport Automated People Mover
public transport system in Hong Kong
The Hong Kong International Airport APM is a driverless people mover located within Hong Kong International Airport. It operates in two segments within Terminal 1 and the Midfield Concourse, and between Terminals 1 and 2. It also connects to the Skypier.
Setup
The first segment runs between the East Hall and the West Hall in Terminal 1. The segment aims to provide a faster and easier way for passengers travelling between immigration and boarding gates at the far end of the Terminal. Westbound service is for departure passengers only, while eastbound service is for arrival passengers only. Passengers cannot take the APM back to the East Hall, where most shops are located. For eastbound service, after reaching the East Hall, all arrival passengers must disembark for immigration, customs, and baggage claim. They are not allowed to take the APM back to the West Hall. Since both East and West Halls are located within Terminal 1, passengers can choose to use travellators instead or walk, though this will be more time-consuming.
