Mass transit rail 
Huanggang Port connects with the Shenzhen Metro, Line 7 (Shenzhen Metro) at Huanggang Checkpoint station opened in October 2016. The counterpart Lok Ma Chau Checkpoint on the Hong Kong side is not accessible via Hong Kong's MTR system. Futian Port a few hundred metres from Huanggang Port but has large buildings in between making walking between the two impractical. Station nearby connects with Lok Ma Chau station on the MTR, although there is no direct metro connection between Huanggang and Futian nor between the 2 checkpoints on the Hong Kong side. Cross-border buses

For improved passenger service, there are stops for direct buses and the ticket office  at Huanggang Port. The stops are at the south of the passenger checking building, and the east of the shuttle buses, and there are six parking spaces reserved for short-term buses, for passengers to get on the buses. The six ticket offices are temporarily on the south of the passenger checking building, and the east of the departure passageway. There are many cross-border traffic routes in Huanggang Port, which lead to Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Wan Chai, Tsuen Wan, Kam Sheung Road, Hong Kong Disneyland, and the International Airport in Hong Kong. Routes to Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Wan Chai, Tsuen Wan, Kam Sheung Road work all day. There are also many buses between Huanggang Port and the Border Control Station in Lok Ma Chau in Hong Kong. After the Huanggang port began 24/7 service, the number of passengers per day quickly increased from 50 thousand to 110 thousand per day, up to a maximum of 172,000. Every day, buses cross the border between 1000-1100 times, twice the normal number and far more than the designed capacity of the number of passengers and vehicles. To solve this problem, the authorities in Guangdong and Hong Kong agreed to provide a combined service of long and short-term buses. There are five groups of six routes of short-term buses between Huangguang Port and Hong Kong, which run between Wan Chai, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan, Mong Kok, and Kam Tin in Hong Kong and Huangguang Port, with the Mong Kok, and Kam Tin together in one group.

All the routes operate 24 hours a day except that the Kam Tin route, which works about 18 hours. The bus frequency of every route is at least 60 times. When busy, every 15 minutes and 30 minutes at less busy times and at midnight. Furthermore, buses of every route have the same color and the same ticket price to simplify management. References
