The first phase of the Tuen Ma Line (from Tai Wai Station to Kai Tak Station) will open to traffic on February 14. The Secretary for Transport and Housing, Chen Fan, was asked today (18) on a RTHK program to open to traffic on Friday. Are you worried about MTR? It will be destroyed at the weekend. He said that after a period of trial operation, he believed that the first phase of the test and acceptance of the Tuen Ma Line was quite smooth and ideal, confirmed that it was safe and ready for service, and after coordinating with the minibus and bus companies, he believed that it could be opened on the same day. Can handle the flow of people on the working day, and also revealed that there will be surprises on that day; under the storm of anti-revisions, the MTR was repeatedly damaged. Chen Fan urged everyone to cherish Hong Kong and the MTR.

Chen Fan has repeatedly stated that the opening day will provide surprises to the citizens, but he is unwilling to provide details. In the past, the MTR only opened new stations or new lines on weekends to reduce the impact of workdays on the citizens. It was suddenly announced on February 14 (Friday) the Tun Ma Line was opened. He explained that the MTR has been in trial operation since the end of October last year, and the test and acceptance conditions were smooth and satisfactory. The MTR confirmed that the Tun Ma Line was safe and ready for service, and coordinated with the minibus and franchised buses. After arranging the connection service and setting up a transfer discount, it was decided to open on Valentine's Day.

When new railways were opened in the past, they would attract a lot of railway fans to try out new routes. Have you considered the crowds that opened on Friday? Chen Fan said that the number of railways is limited. MTR will closely monitor the operation of the railway and passenger flow on the day, and respond accordingly. He also believes that the opening of the Tun Ma Line will help divert the passenger flow from the East Rail Line and the original Ma On Shan Line to the Tun Ma Line. However, passengers from Kowloon East and Hong Kong Island to Hong Kong Island East are diverted via Diamond Hill, which has a relief effect on the railway system. In the event of overcrowding, MTR will divert traffic.
