Although the Tsim Shat Tsui station and East Tsim Sha Tsui station are connected by subway, the fare gates for Tsim Sha Tsui and East Tsim Sha Tsui Stations are separated. Single journey ticket passengers transferring from the Tsuen Wan Line to the West Rail Line must purchase a second ticket at East Tsim Sha Tsui Station as the first ticket is withdrawn, without refunding the remaining value in the ticket, once the passengers exit through the turnstiles at Tsim Sha Tsui station. In contrast, Octopus card users who transfer between Tsim Sha Tsui and East Tsim Sha Tsui stations within thirty minutes without making any other transport related purchases or more than nine non-transport related purchases in between stations are considered to have taken a single journey and are charged accordingly.
