TRANSIT FLY Review: Hong Kong International Airport has about as many high-quality ground transportation options available as any airport in the World. With multiple companies providing direct Airport Shuttle Coach services, the MTR Hong Kong Airport Express Train to Kowloon & Hong Kong, multiple Hong Kong City Flyer public buses, and two companies providing high-speed Ferry service to surrounding areas, the Hong Kong Airport provides World Class transit options. At TransitFly.com our favorite transit option is the Hong Kong / Kowloon Airport Express Train which takes passengers from the HGK Airport to Central Hong Kong in only 24 mins for HK$100. In addition, at the Hong Kong Station customers can take a free shuttle service to over 40 area hotels. |
