So you agree then. That's good.
For those who want to look at living out along Ting Kok road then you can ALWAYS get a bus if you come in on the MTR which is what most people look to do. So the question about things after midnight seems a bit moot to me.
I have done the hike from Central to Ting Kok Village, on the night buses, in the pre dawn, in my time there . It's not difficult, if not a little long winded, but most people that WANT to live in a NT village are not going to be regular late night commuters from places far afield, so again moot point I would say. Where the night buses drop of there are always taxi in a line, so no waiting in my experience. The bitch is having to change buses at Hung Hom, walk over the bridge and walk round the station to the terminus. I would never use that red mini Bus from Mong Kok that some here advise so that sacrifice was accepted.
Being in a situation of out after midnight would mostly ( IMHO ) involve alcohol, so whether you have a car again is moot. Unless your a minority that believe you can get pleasure from OJ of think drinking and driving is OK.
I LOVE with big kisses , Tai Po and it's village areas. Now my daughter is getting bigger we will need more space soon so Ting Kok Road, or maybe the houses in the villages above the Wilson Trail ( I live in Lai Chi Shan ) will come into play. --- and I won't need a car for either scenario.
