How do I get from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 in Hong Kong airport? (HKG)

My flight is at Terminal 2 at the Hong Kong airport but I cannot find any local buses to get there, only to Terminal 1.

I also have looked up information on their website but it is ambiguous as to whether going from 1 to 2 is possible:

The Automated People Mover (APM) takes passengers from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1 and between Terminal 1 and SkyPier. Travelling at more than 63 kilometres per hour, this driverless electric train system carries about 7,200 passengers per hour and departs every two to four minutes.

Based on this information... it feels really far that they need a 63 km/h train to go between the terminals, so how do I go between Terminal 1 and 2?

Best Answer

Simple, you walk.

The distance between the two terminals are only about 100m apart.
