Well, I am Budget Travel mod, so unless absolutely necessary, don't do taxis
And yes, I've been known to take public bus (now light rail) to get to DFW for a flight in Biz.

It will cost more than the "official" way of switching at Tsing Yi, because you're paying the AE fare to Hong Kong and not Tsing Yi. But this means 24 minutes to HK, then 26 minutes from Central to TKO, plus about 7-8 minute of transfer. 3 train rides and under an hour, and sitting for the most part.
Official site takes 67 minutes and 5 train rides (switching at Tsing Yi, Lai King, Prince Edward and Tiu Keng Ling), standing for the most part.
Google transit says two transfers by rail, about 90 minutes. They were dead on for DUB to town. About 10 minutes longer than bus 747, but almost $10 cheaper

And I think you are familiar with sCO EWR-HKG
8:45 p.m. scheduled arrival.
Now UA 117, today's UA flight status shows it flying over Greenland, Iceland and Russia on the way to Hong Kong.
