There are two public transport interchanges on the northeast and south sides of the station.

Long Ping and Yuen Long stations were built under a combined contract, numbered CC-202, which was awarded to the AMEC-Hong Kong Construction Joint Venture.

The contract, worth HK$1.76 billion, commenced in September 1999.

[1] The station opened on 20 December 2003 with the inauguration of the West Rail.

Hence, Long Ping was included in the project and is now an intermediate station on the Tuen Ma line.
