At about 9:40 this morning, there was an online footage showing that about half a hundred people lined up in front of the light rail Siu Hong station gate. At the same time, there were over a hundred citizens waiting for the train service to resume outside the West Rail Tin Shui Wai Station. Some citizens said that because of the suspension of bus services, they learned that the overhead train service would gradually resume, so they waited at the West Rail Station early and ended up at the gate. It took more than an hour for the outside station to enter the gate for a ride.
