[East Rail/Sha-Central Line/Convention and Exhibition Station] Today (16th) after the opening of the sea-crossing section of the MTR East Rail Line, the first work day challenge was met. The train was changed from 12 trucks to 9 trucks. In the morning, there were many stations during peak hours. More people than usual.

Ma On Shan residents who live in stations along the Tuen Ma Line can now transfer to the East Rail Line at Tai Wai Station to arrive on Hong Kong Island, without the need to "turn over and over again".

Some members of the public described that although the crowd at the station seems to have increased this morning, it is indeed more convenient to transfer to the East Rail Line in Tai Wai to cross the sea for rework.

The East Rail Line and Tuen Ma Line interchange to Hong Kong Island, and the trains arriving at Tai Wai Station are 70% full

Tai Wai Station is the intersection of the East Rail Line and the Tuen Ma Line. Before the East Rail Line crosses the sea, residents living in the stations of the Tuen Ma Line must first take the Tuen Ma Line to Tai Wai, and then transfer to the East Rail to Kowloon Tong , then transfer to Kwun Tong Line to Mong Kok, then transfer to Tsuen Wan Line to cross the sea to Admiralty.

It takes about 27 minutes to "turn around" from Tai Wai to Admiralty alone.

No need to "turn around" Tai Wai to Admiralty is 10 minutes faster

Now that the cross-sea section of the East Rail is open, they transfer to the East Rail at Tai Wai Station to the Golden Rail, which takes only 17 minutes, which is a full 10 minutes faster than the previous journey.

Many citizens have expressed that it is more convenient to go to work on Hong Kong Island with the East Rail Transit section.

However, since Tai Wai Station is located in the middle of the East Rail Line, when many trains arrive, most of the trains are 50-70% full, and it is not easy to successfully board the train.

Several vehicles had been "forced" and failed to board the train, but he didn't care: "I didn't use one train before.

Although Tai Wai transfers East Rail to Hong Kong Island, Ma On Shan residents dare not delay going out

Ms. Mao, a resident of Ma On Shan, said that although she believed that it would be more time-saving to transfer to the East Rail in Tai Wai to travel to Hong Kong Island, she did not delay the time to go out considering that the number of people taking the East Rail might increase.

After Ms. Mao arrived at Dawei Station, she was also unable to board the arriving train because the train was full.

She said that in the past, she could take the first train that arrived at the platform, but today she has to wait for the second train. I believe that the flow of people has indeed increased as she expected.
