Hello, my sister, you can take a taxi from Airport to your new house without any stop.

Say: "My sister phoned (me) this morning".
She asked me for [ 1] advices, advice on how can she can take [ 2] a public transport ations from the airport to her new house in Hong Kong.
See above.
[ 1]: "advice" is a non count noun.
[ 2]: No "a".

Hello, my sister,
No. In English, you would say: "Hi Jenny", for example.
you can take a taxi from Airport to your new house without any stop.
No. That's no good. Also, taxis are not considered public transport.
Say, for example:
"You can take bus No. 34 to Victoria Station, and then take a southbound tram No. 6 from there. Alternatively, just get a taxi. It's not that expensive, and it'll be much quicker than the bus".

Hi, teechar,

Why I can't use a before public transport?

What do you see in the square brackets [ ]?
