    Its hard for me to work up an outrage over the priviledged expat enclave of DB and its denziens (of course if I actually lived there i might care about it a lot more ).

    Transportation from and to Auberge Discovery Bay Hong Kong

    You can now access our hotel by urban taxi (coloured red) or Lantau taxi (coloured blue).
    So taxis are allowed into just DB North Plaza now?

    Yes, and the next thing is for taxi to be allowed to go anywhere in DB to pick up or drop off passengers.

    It's crazy. The whole point of the place is to be different. I would be furious too if I lived there.

    I bet most of the property owners in DB are smiling like crazy as their property value would suddenly jump upwards a lot if more public transport is allowed to venture in
