Okay, one more HK review as an encore.
Long Win is a bus company that offers bus service to Hong Kong International Airport. Their buses are double decker so there are two floors of seating. On the lower floor, there is a compartment to place your luggage. Though it can be problematic since usually the lower compartments are full and the only space available is on top. Be careful not to hurt yourself lifting the luggage to fit the space.
I took the A41P from HKIA to Ma On Shan. The cost, HK$27.70 which can be paid by cash or Octopus Card is cheap for the long distance. If you took a taxi, the cost would be about 10 times that price which includes paying a couple tolls along the way. The journey is about 45-50 minutes.
The buses are comfortable and air conditioned fortunately. It is nice to take this bus to get a nice glimpse of the Hong Kong skyline. On the trek back to HKIA, do make sure to read the timetable carefully. The one at Chevalier Garden lists the time that the bus leaves its first stop, so you will need to estimate how long it takes to get to your particular stop.
I would take a Long Win bus again if I was heading to a location that they serve. The buses are pleasant and the extra time is not too much when comparing it to taking a taxi. It may take a little longer, but the cost savings are substantial. read more
