An adult return ticket now costs HK$88 (US$11.20), a nearly 70 per cent jump from before the makeover.
“I hope all visitors will feel it’s worth the price,” May Tsang, general manager of tram operator the Peak Complex, said on Wednesday.
“We have to consider the increase in our operating costs and the long-term sustainability of our business.”
On Saturday morning, a woman surnamed Kwok and her young daughter were among a crowd of around a hundred waiting in line to try out the refurbished tram.
“It’s been a long time since I was here and it’ll be her first time,” she said of her daughter.
Chau, who brought his two sons along for a family outing, said he was generally satisfied with the revamp.
“It’s a bit pricey, but so is everything nowadays.”
Tourists were mostly absent on Saturday as Hong Kong saw just a total of 134,000 visitors in the past four quarters – a mere fraction of the 65 million that came to the city in 2018.
