Yesterday (13th), a train derailed at MTR Yau Ma Tei Station "slammed the door", causing the Tsuen Wan Line's service between Jordan and Lai King Station to be suspended for the whole day.
Fortunately, after being repaired by MTR staff, the service finally returned to normal this morning (14th), and the first train departed as usual.
Many passengers who took the first bus to work deliberately got up early to pay attention to the latest news. If the bus did not open, they would change the itinerary. : "The most stable position is to return to the middle armrest!"
Mr. Tam, a nursing student who works in Causeway Bay, said that he had to wait 5 to 6 minutes for the bus. He felt that the frequency of the bus was reduced or slower.
He also pointed out that the incident is worrying: "It's all shocking, no one will know what happened. It happened at Causeway Bay Station in December last year. Only in the future, it is difficult to get close to the door or every train connection. , the most stable position to return to the middle armrest!"

Mr. Chen, a Yau Ma Tei resident, also used to take the first bus to work, and woke up at 5 am to "check his mobile phone and watch the news".
