Thank you so much for the information...if I get confirmation that it is indeed a bad move to cab it from TST to Kowloon Station time wise then I am more than happy just to cab it from the airport if that bypasses all the traffic. I'd rather save the $20/$30 obviously with taking the train over the cab but at the end of the day not a big deal if it means not sweating it out back to the airport.

One last question there are several exits to walk out of from Hong Kong Station to walk to the Central Pier to get the Star Ferry...What's the best one to use that would be the quickest to walk to?

Exits:
A1/A2: Two IFC

or

E1/E2: One IFC

or

F: IFC Mall
