How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal transit announcements and signage to describe the act of switching lines or modes of transport. In casual daily speech, locals almost always prefer the simpler verb 轉搭 or just 轉, as 轉乘 carries a slightly more technical or administrative tone.
Examples
You should interchange to the Island Line at Admiralty.
Is it convenient to transfer to a bus here?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 轉車, which is more general and can also mean to change one's travel plans or vehicle entirely. 轉乘 specifically implies a connection within a transit network, such as moving between different MTR lines or from a train to a bus.
