Station Layout
Tai Koo adheres to the general layout of most MTR stations. At ground level, there are numerous alphanumerically-named entrances and exits.
| G Ground |
- | Exits |
| C Concourse |
Concourse | customer service, MTRShops |
| vending machines, ATM | ||
| Octopus promotion machine | ||
| P Platform |
Platform 1 | █ Island Line towards Chai Wan |
|
|
||
| Platform 2 | █ Island Line towards Sheung Wan | |
Platforms 1 and 2 are arranged in the simple island platform layout. Unlike most of the other underground stations on the Island Line, Tai Koo does not have separate tubes for each track and platform as the station was built in the cut and cover method. This means that although there are escalators and stairs in the middle of the platform, it has an open design and the platforms are not separated. Each platform is equipped with platform screen doors for safety and ventilation reasons.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
