Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e announced at a press conference yesterday (28th) that the Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail and intercity train services will be suspended from Thursday (30th), and West Kowloon Station will be closed. In response to the relevant arrangements, KMB and Citybus also announced today that they will suspend the service of three express bus lines with West Kowloon Station as the terminus.

After the government announced the temporary closure of the West Kowloon Station of the high-speed rail, KMB issued a notice today stating that the W2 line between West Kowloon Station and Kwun Tong and the W3 line between West Kowloon Station and Sheung Shui will also be suspended from tomorrow until further notice .

The 629 bus line from Central Star Ferry Pier to Ocean Park will also be suspended.

Regarding the suspension of travel between West Kowloon Station and the Sheung Shui W3 bus line, North District Councillor Lin Ziqiong said he was dissatisfied with the existing neighborhoods. "Not many neighborhoods will take the bus line to West Kowloon Station terminus, but many people will take to the halfway station in Sha Tin." She pointed out that after the East Rail Line had broken down, the neighborhood found the bus line to other areas quite convenient: " Because the East Rail is very crowded, coupled with the recent severe pneumonia epidemic, Sheung Shui is close to Luohu and Lok Ma Chau, and there are many bacteria in the carriages. If there are buses, the neighborhood will not choose the East Rail. "Lin Ziqiong believes that the suspension of the relevant routes caused The inconvenience of the neighborhood will be even more significant after the resumption of work in the New Year's holiday. It is believed that the bus company should maintain its service: "It is enough to stop at West Kowloon Station, because no one will get off at that station."

Kwun Tong District Councillor Hung Chun-hsuan believes that the general public would welcome the suspension of bus routes. (Profile picture)

Kwun Tong District Councillor Hung Chun-hsuan stated that he had not temporarily suspended the W2 bus line and received dissatisfaction from the neighbourhood. He believed that the general residents would welcome the relevant practice: "There are not many stops on the bus line. , The suspension of the route due to the closure of the station is also normal. "

The epidemic remains uncontrolled for the time being. Hong Junxuan pointed out that not only the district, but also Hong Kong is filled with a tense atmosphere. The current measures adopted by the government to prevent the disease have not given the public confidence, nor have they consulted the recommendations and comprehensively closed the customs, which has made the public feel uneasy. "The confirmed cases are those who have been to or passed through Wuhan, but Luohu, which has the highest number of people, has not yet been closed. It is not to spread panic, but it is most useful to block the source."
