Sorry, you can't. For daytime lines, you need to get the paper tickets at Central Star Ferry Pier 7, Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier or Peak Tram Lower Terminus. For night lines, you need to go to K11 MUSEA Donut.

Does the RED Hop on/off buses include return to Star ferry pier
If I purchase the 24 hr RED route bus tour ticket and get on at Kowloon pier ( circa $44) does it only take me from the Hong Kong pier to the Peak tram stop or does it take me back to the Hong Kong pier?

Generally, you can take it back to the pier but it is suggested to confirm with the bus staff when getting on the bus.
