The terminus of Sha Tau Kok Railway, which ceased to operate on 1 April 1929 and was replaced by Sha Tau Kok Road, was located in the town.
Sha Tau Kok Railway was built from the original narrow gauge of the KCR British Section, which was replaced by standard gauge.
Since then, however, the area formerly occupied by the terminus is still known as the train station or fo cha teu in the local dialects (火車頭 Pinyin:huŏchētóu).
Currently, both Kowloon Motor Bus and minibus services Sha Tau Kok.
There are a few shops nearby, at Sha Tau Kok Chuen.

Today, Sha Tau Kok has a bus station served by the KMB Route 78K service as well as the smaller sixteen-seater minibus or public light bus service route number 55k.
Both begin in Sheung Shui and pass through Luen Wo Hui before terminating at Sha Tau Kok.
However, passengers may not proceed through the Closed Area border checkpoint if they do not carry a valid permit.
Police personnel will board the bus at the checkpoint to check the ID Card or identification documents and the required Frontier Closed Area permit of each passenger.
If passengers do not possess these documents, they will be asked to leave the bus by police personnel.
