context_page_description: Ngau Tau Kok is a station on the Hong Kong MTR Kwun Tong Line. It is located in the Ngau Tau Kok area of Kowloon East, between Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay stations. It was among the earliest stations in the network, being opened on 1 October 1979.
  Ngau Tau Kok is one of three stations to be located above ground on the line, the others being Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay. The majority of passengers use Ngau Tau Kok station to commute.
  Due to difficulties in installing platform screen doors in above ground stations, the MTR decided not to install PSDs in this station, instead installing automatic platform gates on the station's platforms in 2011.
context_section_description: Platforms 1 and 2 share the same island platform, and the east parts are curved, so the gap between platform and train is large.
