The A21 bus takes about 15-20 mins longer than the taxi/AEX option from TST but costs $HKD34 vs $HKD150.

There are also group discounts on AEX eg group of 4 is $HKD250 from Kowloon which is quite good and line ball with taxi but if they aren’t offered then I agree with evergrn that 2+ travellers with luggage should take a taxi for convenience. Having done it earlier this month, the taxi was good particularly after a long day of travel.

The AEX is excellent though and stress free but economically, it’s quite expensive compared to other options.
