===Rail===
Seven of the [[MTR]] rapid transit system's ten lines service Hong Kong Island. The [[Island line (MTR)|Island line]] and [[South Island line]] run exclusively on the four districts of Hong Kong Island, with the Island line serving the north shore at 17 stations, and the South Island line connecting four stations on [[Ap Lei Chau]] and in [[Wong Chuk Hang]] to the north shore at [[Admiralty station (MTR)|Admiralty station]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Highways Department – Island Line |url=https://www.hyd.gov.hk/en/road_and_railway/existing/railway_network/isl/index.html |website=www.hyd.gov.hk |publisher=[[Highways Department]] of the [[Government of Hong Kong]] |access-date=8 January 2019 |archive-date=27 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160427184224/https://www.hyd.gov.hk/en/road_and_railway/existing/railway_network/isl/index.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Highways Department – South Island Line (East) |url=https://www.hyd.gov.hk/en/road_and_railway/existing/railway_network/sile/index.html |website=www.hyd.gov.hk |publisher=[[Highways Department]] of the [[Government of Hong Kong]] |access-date=8 January 2019}}</ref> Five MTR lines – the [[Tsuen Wan line]], the [[Tseung Kwan O line]], the [[Tung Chung line]], the [[Airport Express (MTR)|Airport Express]] – connect the north shore with Kowloon and provide onward service to the [[New Territories]], and the [[East Rail line]] which provides another cross-harbour connection upon its extension from [[Hung Hom station]] to Admiralty station.<ref>{{Cite web |title=MTR > System Map |url=https://www.mtr.com.hk/en/customer/services/system_map.html |access-date=2023-04-28 |website=www.mtr.com.hk |language=en}}</ref> In future, the planned [[North Island line]] infrastructure project would extend both the Tung Chung line and the Tseung Kwan O line to connect them to each other, forming a route parallel to the middle section of the Island line.

Two other rail systems, [[Hong Kong Tramways]] and the [[Peak Tram]], also run exclusively on Hong Kong Island. The former runs mostly parallel to the Island line between [[Kennedy Town]] and [[Shau Kei Wan]], with a loop linking [[Causeway Bay]] and [[Happy Valley, Hong Kong|Happy Valley]]; the latter is a [[funicular]] linking [[Central, Hong Kong|Central District]] to [[Victoria Peak]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hong Kong Tramways - Interactive Map |url=https://www.hktramways.com/en/interactive-map |access-date=2024-07-26 |website=www.hktramways.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Peak Tram {{!}} Hong Kong Tourism Board |url=https://www.discoverhongkong.com/in/interactive-map/peak-tram.html |access-date=2024-07-26 |website=Discover Hong Kong |language=en}}</ref>

===Maritime Transport===
[[File:Northern Star Star Ferry Central to Tsim Sha Tsui 31-12-2022.jpg|thumb|An iconic ferry of the [[Star Ferry]] docked at the Central Ferry Pier]]
Hong Kong Island has four ferry terminals, them being the [[Central Ferry Piers]], [[North Point Ferry Pier]], [[Sai Wan Ho Ferry Pier]] and [[Wan Chai Ferry Pier]]. Frequently ferry services are provided from these piers to the Kowloon Peninsula and the outlying islands.<ref>{{cite web |title=FERRIES |url=https://www.td.gov.hk/en/transport_in_hong_kong/public_transport/ferries/index.html|publisher=Transport Department}}</ref> A departure terminal, the [[Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal]] is located in Sheung Wan to provide turbojet ferry services to [[Macau]].<ref>{{cite web |title=HONG KONG MACAU FERRY TERMINUS|url=https://www.turbojet.com.hk/en/routing-sailing-schedule/terminals/hong-kong-macau-ferry-terminal.aspx|publisher=Turbo Jet}}</ref>

A tourist sightseeing ferry service, branded as the "Water Taxi" is also offered. The ferry service travels in the Victoria Harbour to sightseeing attractions of Hong Kong, such as the [[Hong Kong Observation Wheel]], [[International Finance Centre (Hong Kong)|International Financial Centre]], [[Tsim Sha Tsui]] Promenade, [[West Kowloon Cultural District]] and [[Kai Tak Cruise Terminal]]. It has 4 drop off points.<ref>{{cite web |title=About Us|url= https://www.hongkongwatertaxi.com.hk/en/|publisher=Hong Kong Water Taxi}}</ref>

Public piers are also alongside the Victoria Harbour, such as the famous now-demolished [[Queen's Pier]] in Central and now-relocated [[Blake Pier at Stanley|Blake Pier]] in Stanley, which mainly provides passenger pick-up and drop-off services for small barges, yachts and sightseeing boats. Public piers are located mainly along the Victoria Harbour mainly in Causeway Bay, Central, Shau Kei Wan, Wan Chai, and also in Aberdeen, Ap Lei Chau and Stanley, places in the Southern District.<ref>{{cite web |title=Public Piers maintained by CEDD|url= https://www.cedd.gov.hk/eng/about-us/organisation/ceo/pwd/port-main/public_piers/index.html|publisher=Civil Engineering and Development Department}}</ref>

===Roads===
Major roads on Hong Kong Island include [[Connaught Road]], [[Des Voeux Road]], [[King's Road (Hong Kong)|King's Road]], [[Queen's Road, Hong Kong|Queen's Road]].

===Tunnels===
[[File:Cross Harbour Tunnel 05-11-2022(2).jpg|thumb|Hong Kong Island portal of the [[Cross-Harbour Tunnel]], one of the tunnels linking Hong Kong Island and the [[Kowloon Peninsula]]]]
Hong Kong Island is connected to the [[Kowloon Peninsula]] on the mainland by two road-only [[tunnel]]s (the [[Cross-Harbour Tunnel]] and the [[Western Harbour Crossing]]), three MTR railway tunnels ([[East Rail line]], [[Tsuen Wan line]] and [[Tung Chung line]]/[[Airport Express (MTR)|Airport Express]]) and one combined road and MTR rail link tunnel ([[Eastern Harbour Crossing]], containing the [[Tseung Kwan O line]] and road traffic in separate parallel conduits).

Besides these harbour crossing tunnels, Hong Kong Island also has two tunnels travelling across the island itself, the [[Aberdeen Tunnel]] and [[Central–Wan Chai Bypass]], which were opened in March 1982 and January 2019 respectively.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Road Tunnels of Hong Kong |url=https://www.hyd.gov.hk/en/information_corner/hyd_factsheets/doc/e_Road_Tunnels_of_HK.pdf |website=Highways Department}}</ref>

The Aberdeen Tunnel provides a link from [[Happy Valley, Hong Kong|Happy Valley]] and [[Wong Chuk Hang]], with the toll fee being HK$5.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Transport Department - Toll Rates of Road Tunnels |url=https://www.td.gov.hk/en/transport_in_hong_kong/tunnels_and_bridges_n/toll_matters/toll_rates_of_road_tunnels_and_lantau_link/index.html |access-date=2024-08-19 |website=www.td.gov.hk}}</ref>

The Central–Wan Chai Bypass provides a link from [[Sheung Wan]] to [[Wan Chai North]] and the [[Island Eastern Corridor|Eastern Corridor]] beyond [[Causeway Bay]]. It was built as part of the [[Central and Wan Chai Reclamation]] and is part of [[Route 4 (Hong Kong)|Route 4]]. The bypass is toll-free.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Highways Department - Central - Wan Chai Bypass and Island Eastern Corridor Link |url=https://www.hyd.gov.hk/en/our_projects/road_projects/6579th/index.html |access-date=2024-08-19 |website=www.hyd.gov.hk}}</ref>

===Bridges===
[[File:Victoriaharbourbridge.jpg|thumb|A picture of a simulated model of a proposed bridge over the [[Victoria Harbour]] from the 1950s]]
There are no bridges between the island and Kowloon, although two bridges – the [[Ap Lei Chau Bridge]], a road bridge, and [[Aberdeen Channel Bridge]], part of the South Island line – connect the Hong Kong island to [[Ap Lei Chau]].

The Ap Lei Chau Bridge is a combination of two bridges, built separately in 1980 and 1994. It was built to accommodate the growing population in Ap Lei Chau, which the residents could only access the island by boats prior to the construction of the bridge.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Highways Department - Roads in Hong Kong Island |url=https://www.hyd.gov.hk/en/road_and_railway/road_network/hk.html |access-date=2024-08-08 |website=www.hyd.gov.hk}}</ref>

[[File:Central-Mid-Levels Escalator and Walkway System 2017.jpg|thumb|An uphill-running escalator of the [[Central–Mid-Levels escalator|Central-Mid-Levels Escalator and Walkway System]] ]]
The [[Central–Mid-Levels escalator|Central-Mid Levels escalator and walkway system]] is the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world. It was opened in 1993 with the initiative of providing relief to traffic in the [[Mid-Levels]]. It travels from [[Queen's Road Central]] to [[Conduit Road]], with the total horizontal distance being over 800&nbsp;m (2,600&nbsp;ft) and total vertical distance being over 135&nbsp;m (443&nbsp;ft). It consists of covered walkways, 16 reversible one-way escalators and 3 reversible one-way travelators. Restaurants, bars and shops can be found alongside the system. Along its use of transporting, it is also a tourist attraction to the many visiting Hong Kong. As of late 2016, around 78,000 pedestrian make their trips using the system.<ref>{{Cite web |title=HILLSIDE ESCALATOR |url=https://www.td.gov.hk/en/transport_in_hong_kong/pedestrians/hillside_escalator/index.html |access-date=24 July 2024 |website=Transport Department of Hong Kong}}</ref>
