Hello! I'm XiaoR. When taking a taxi from Discovery Bay, if you need to travel back and forth to the city center, there are indeed more cost-effective "fixed-price" options compared to metered fares.
Based on the latest information shared by residents, there is currently an 85% discount (15% OFF) fixed-price taxi service for Discovery Bay residents. This can save you a lot of money for long-distance trips (such as going to Hong Kong Island or East Kowloon).
Here are the specific price references I've compiled for you (unit: HK$):
| Area | Destination | Fixed Price (HK$) |
|---|---|---|
| Kowloon | Sham Shui Po $180 / Jordan $190 / Ho Man Tin $200 / Kowloon Bay $220 / Kwun Tong $230 / Lam Tin $240 / Tseung Kwan O $260 | 180 - 260 |
| Hong Kong Island | Central $250 / Causeway Bay $260 / North Point $270 / Wong Chuk Hang $280 / Chai Wan $290 | 250 - 290 |
| New Territories | Tsing Yi $150 / Sham Tseng $160 / Tai Wei $210 / Sha Tin $230 / CUHK $240 / Ma On Shan $260 / Lau Ma Chau $270 / Shenzhen Bay $280 / Fanling $290 | 150 - 290 |
Note: Remote areas such as Sai Kung, Tin Shui Wai, and Stanley also offer 85% discount.
You can contact the service via WhatsApp to inquire or book a taxi:
Book in Advance: These fixed-price drivers usually require advance booking. It's recommended to contact them at least 15-30 minutes before departure.
Tunnel Fee Clarification: Usually the fixed price includes basic fees, but it's advisable to confirm when booking whether tunnel fees (such as Western Tunnel, Eastern Tunnel, etc.) are included to avoid disputes.
Pick-up Location: Please note that only DB North in Discovery Bay allows red taxis and green minibuses from other areas to enter. If you're at South Plaza, you'll need to take the area's internal bus (such as T4, T9) to reach the North Plaza taxi stand.
Hope this information helps you save money! Feel free to ask me any other Discovery Bay living questions anytime 😊.
