  • MTR All Geared up for Typhoon Season and Calls on Passengers to Note Service Adjustments During Typhoons for Journey Planning
    PR031/21 14 May 2021 MTR All Geared up for Typhoon Season and Calls on Passengers to Note Service Adjustments during Typhoons for Journey Planning With the typhoon season approaching, MTR Corporation has implemented a number of precautionary measures to combat the adverse weather including the inspection of flood- prevention equipment, checking the conditions of railway facilities and enhancing the trimming of trees along open sections of railway lines. As MTR services may be affected by adverse weather and may have to be adjusted due to various situations during typhoons, the Corporation will provide the latest train service information through different platforms including the media, social media and MTR Mobile for passengers to plan their journeys. MTR always makes its best endeavours to provide safe service during typhoons as far as practicable under the premise of ensuring the safety of passengers and MTR staff. However, services on the open sections of the heavy rail, Light Rail and MTR Bus will inevitably be affected by adverse weather during typhoons, and therefore the Operations Control Centre will make corresponding service arrangements based on weather conditions (please refer to the annex for details). “Our priority is to ensure the safety of passengers and our staff in the face of adverse weather. Staff will be deployed to assist passengers at stations during typhoons while the maintenance team will stand by along railway lines to carry out emergency repairs on damaged railway facilities as long as it is safe and feasible to do so. After gale signals are lowered, recovery works will commence fully. As the works take time and roads may also be blocked by fallen trees or debris, services on the open sections of the heavy rail, Light Rail and MTR Bus may not be able to resume immediately.

  • LCQ9: Public Transport Services Between Tuen Mun and the Airport *********************************************************
    LCQ9: Public transport services between Tuen Mun and the Airport ********************************************************* Following is a question by the Hon Cheung Hok-ming and a written reply by the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Ms Eva Cheng, in the Legislative Council today (November 2): Question: Some Tuen Mun residents have reflected that quite a number of residents in the district work at the Hong Kong International Airport (the Airport) due to insufficient employment opportunities in Tuen Mun; yet, at present only a few trips are made in the morning and afternoon daily by the buses of route E33P running between Siu Hong Railway Station in Tuen Mun and the Airport, and the service can hardly meet the demand during peak commuting hours. They have also indicated that as the first bus of this route from the Airport departs after 5pm, people who get off work earlier than that in the afternoon have to take buses of other routes which charge higher fares. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) whether it knows the percentage of the working population in Tuen Mun in the past three years who have to work across districts; (b) in response to the situation that the workers engaged in many types of jobs at the Airport need to work shifts, whether the authorities will request the operator of the aforesaid bus route to arrange for the first bus to depart from the Airport earlier in the afternoon as warranted by the actual situation; and (c) of the measures to improve the present public transport services between Tuen Mun (i.e.

  • MTR Corporation Limited's Paper on the Review of Mass Transit Railway
    CB(4)890/16-17(07) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Review of Mass Transit Railway By-laws and Mass Transit Railway (North-West Railway) Bylaw Purpose The MTR Corporation Limited (“MTRCL”) mentioned at the meeting of the Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways on 19 April 2016 that it would conduct a review on the Mass Transit Railway By-laws (Cap. 556B) (“MTR By-laws”) and Mass Transit Railway (North-West Railway) Bylaw (Cap 556H) (“MTR (NWR) Bylaw”). This paper reports the findings of the review and consults Members on the way forward. Background 2. Currently, more than 5 million passenger trips are made on the MTR network every day. With its dedicated rail corridor, as well as the cooperation of passengers, the MTR operates smoothly and effectively as a mass transit system. 3. In addition, a comprehensive legal framework is essential to ensure smooth railway operation. Upon the rail merger, having regard to the scope of MTRCL’s business, the Government amended the then Mass Transit Railway Corporation Ordinance to become the existing Mass Transit Railway Ordinance (Cap. 556) (“Ordinance”). The Ordinance grants the franchise of railway service to MTRCL and regulates the operation of the Corporation under the franchise, including the compliance with requirements concerning railway safety. 4. To enable MTRCL to provide proper and efficient railway service, Section 34 of the Ordinance stipulates that MTRCL may make bylaws. The main purpose of making bylaws is to suitably regulate the conduct of passengers so that MTRCL can provide safe, reliable and smooth railway service to passengers.

Charles Ka Yui Leung. Associate Professor, Department of Economics and Finance, City University of Hong Kong; Address: 83 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong; Phone: (852) 3442-9604; Fax: (852) 3442-0284; E-mail: [email protected] Patrick Wai Yin Cheung Research Associate, Department of Economics and Finance, City University of Hong Kong; Address: 83 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong; E-mail: [email protected] Edward Chi Ho Tang PhD Candidate, Department of Economics and Finance, City University of Hong Kong; Address: 83 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong; E-mail: [email protected] This study of the co-movements of transaction prices and trading volumes reveals that the mean correlation of prices and trading volumes alike, among different housing sub-markets, increase during the market boom. After a financial crisis, the correlations dramatically drop and stay low. The distribution of the correlations changes from skewed to symmetric. All these coincide with the increase in the total variance of prices, as well as the share of the idiosyncratic component in the total variance after the crisis. These findings are consistent with a family of theories that emphasize on the “regime switch” in expectations.
