Hi, dear! The former is the multi usage transportation card in HK. The latter is the railway system between the airport and downtown area. Just buy a Standard Octopus Card, and you can use it to ride on Airport Express train, MTR, Light Rail, buses, ferries, trams, taxis, etc. To get the card, each adult pays HKD 50 as the deposit, and HKD 100 as the stored value; each child aged 3 to 11 pays HKD 50 as the deposit, and HKD 20 as the stored value.
