There are two types of taxis available. They are the Urban (Red) Taxis and the New Territories (Green) Taxis. The Urban Taxis can go anywhere in Hong Kong but most of Lantau Island. The New Territories Taxis can only go to Sai Kung, Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai, Tai Po, Fanling, Sheung Shui and Ma On Shan. In fact, this taxi stand is the only place that Green Taxis are allowed to go to on Tsing Yi. Since Green Taxis are cheaper than Red ones, commuters should choose the queue accordingly.The Park Island Transport Company Limited operates a residential bus route, NR330, serving between Tsing Yi AR Station and Park Island. Under special licence of the Transport Department, for the residents' convenience, the route can be on service even when the Tsing Ma Bridge is closed due to Typhoon attack.
