    Need advice on bus services please

    Hello,
    I am trying to find out if there is any 24 hour buses which operate from LKF to Sham shui po?
    If there is, which number and how often do they run please.

    Thanks in advance

    Red minibuses from Queen's Road at the foot of LKF go to Mongkok.

    If you want to do it on big buses then the Public Transport Enquiry System suggests the cheapest way is to take the N121 to the far side of the cross-harbour tunnel then switch to the N122 to Sham Shui Po. Both run every 15 minutes through the night.

    Hi! Do you know how much a taxi would be from Mongkok to Sham shui po? As may be easier/quicker to just take the 1 bus then take a taxi? Thanks everyone!

    If you want to estimate a taxi fare just put one location into google maps, click on directions and select the other location (by car). This will give you the distance. Multiply this by the rates which can be found here. Hong Kong Taxis & Cab Fares - Hong Kong Tourism Board
    Of course it won't be exact depending on exact routes, traffic conditions etc but it will give you a pretty good idea.

    Or alternatively, ask a taxi driver.

    Probably $20. If you're drinking in LKF then this will be a tiny added cost to your night out.

    For example Mongkok MTR to Sham Shui Po MTR is 2.2 km by road.

    At $18 for the first 2 km and $1.50 for every 200m thereafter that works out at $19.50. If you have more accurate to and from locations you can get a better idea.
