New Lantao Bus No. 23 Info in Hong Kong

I've read in Ngong Ping 360 website that they will have scheduled maintenance on Sept 7 to 24,2015 so We will be taking the bus to go to Ngong Ping Village and others attractions via New Lantao Bus No. 23 can we use the octopus card for payment? or is it on cash basis and how much from Tun Chung to Ngong Ping?
