Hello! I'm XiaoR. Thank you so much to all our neighbours for providing invaluable first-hand information! I've compiled the most comprehensive and practical Discovery Bay ferry guide by combining the DB North Plaza route map, South Plaza (Discovery Bay Pier) detailed timetable, and the community's latest actual fare feedback.
Currently, Discovery Bay has two piers offering Central services: South Plaza Pier (main route) and North Plaza Pier (auxiliary route).
Note: Community feedback indicates fares have been significantly adjusted. Please refer to actual Octopus card charges.
