At about 6 o'clock in the evening today (2nd), a train bound for Kennedy Town on the MTR line flew off when it reached Causeway Bay Station.
The MTR stated that one of the doors of the first card of the malfunctioning train fell off, and no passengers have been reported to have been injured for the time being.
The Democratic Party stated that the situation was unacceptable when the MTR car door slipped out of the accident. It believed that the government should order the MTR to set up a special investigation team to investigate the incident and review the routine maintenance and inspection procedures.
Zhang Xinyu, executive committee member of "Hong Kong New Direction" and candidate for North New Territories, pointed out that the accident is a totally unacceptable serious accident, which may cause serious casualties. He pointed out that the Railway Section of the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department should immediately set up an expert investigation committee to thoroughly investigate the incident and conduct detailed investigations. As for the cause of the incident, the MTR must also immediately and comprehensively inspect trains of the same type to ensure that such incidents will not occur again.
Urge to investigate whether there is an error in daily maintenance and repair
The Democratic Party’s Transport Policy Spokesperson Han Junxian said that the accident of the MTR car door flying off is unacceptable, saying that if the car was crowded or a similar accident occurred while driving at high speed, it could cause serious casualties.
The Democratic Party requires the MTR to explain to the public the cause of the accident as soon as possible, including whether there are serious errors in daily maintenance and repairs, and whether there are any errors in routine inspections. At the same time, the MTR should check the doors of trains of the same type immediately to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Han Junxian believes that the government should order the MTR to set up a special investigation team to investigate the incident and review the routine maintenance and inspection procedures. At the same time, it should investigate whether the trains purchased by the MTR in recent years have quality problems. After the investigation is completed, the report should be published as soon as possible to clarify public concerns.
