First Class Ticket for the Peak Tram, circa 1930s

Opening an old book the other day I found this ticket for the Peak Tram in Hong Kong circa 1930s. This one could get you from the Lower Terminus on Garden Road or the station at Kennedy Road up to Plantation Road (now the Barker Road station I think) or the Upper Terminus (now a ghastly shopping centre). You’ll note this is a first class ticket – first class was for colonial officials or residents of Victoria Peak only (second class was for military and Hong Kong Police personnel) and third class for everyone else and animals.
