Sha Tin Central Bus Terminus

Anybody living in Sha Tin would be all too familiar with the Sha Tin Central Bus Terminus. Situated right below New Town Plaza and the MTR station, this terminus has stops for dozens of buses bringing you to places all over the New Territories. You can take buses here to Kwai Chung, Tsuen Wan and Sai Kung, among many others. You can even get to Disneyland via the A42, and the airport via the E42!
The terminus is split into four platforms — platforms 1 – 4. It doesn’t matter if you don’t find out beforehand which platform the bus you want to take is at, because there are arrows that that will point you to the right one. Plus, you can always have a quick scan over the bus stop signs yourself or ask the staff in the terminus office booth at the middle.
Honestly, I hate waiting for a bus at the terminus during the summer. Like any other terminus, it’s hot and the exhaust from buses starting and stopping only adds to the heat. The ventilation here is poor, making a ten-​minute wait seem like an eternity. If you look at a line, pretty much every alternate, or every third person, is fanning themselves with a flyer or a newspaper of sorts.
But there’s no denying that this terminus is convenient — if you live nearby but not in the town central, you can take a bus or the train here. If you take the train, take the exit out New Town Plaza, head for the escalator and you’ll be at the terminus already.
