Transportation

From the Hong Kong International Airport to HKUST

  1. By Taxi

    Taxi is the easiest means of transport from the airport to the University. Take a RED taxi (don't take Green or Blue-coloured taxi, as they are restricted to travel in the New Territories and Lantau Island respectively) at the designated taxi stand of the airport directly to HKUST; the cost is approximately HK$300 (US$38.5), and the travel time is about 45 minutes.


    Please note that the taxi driver will punch in the toll charges onto the meter and show you the exact total amount you need to pay. Tipping is not customary, you only need to round up to the next dollar. Taxis typically do not accept credit cards, so please have HK dollars in cash available.


    Taxi drivers in Hong Kong may not communicate well in English. You might need to print one of these taxi driver instructions (written in Chinese), and show it to the taxi driver after boarding.
