Red Taxis cover the route of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Blue Taxis in Hong Kong run for New territories i.e. area of land above Kowloon. Blue Taxi carries the passenger from Airport to Lantau Island. Tourists in a hurry or with a lot of luggage can reach the city in 40 minutes in a cab (Hong Kong Airport Transfer). Choose the cab as per your destination because taxis ply to their designated areas only. You may have to pay a surcharge for luggage and toll bridges.
