TD monitors MOS Rail on first working day after Christmas

Transport Department (TD) has activated the Emergency Transport Coordination Centre (ETCC) to monitor the transport and traffic conditions and to maintain close liaison with KCRC and the bus companies, on the first working day after Christmas holidays (December 28).

Operation of Ma On Shan Rail (MOSR) and other public transport services have been generally smooth up to 8 pm today.

A TD spokesman said: "The department has also deployed officers at the strategic locations to observe the traffic and passenger flow. TD will continue to maintain close liaison with the transport operators to ensure smooth operation of the Ma On Shan Rail."

All MOSR stations and the newly built Public Transport Interchange at Wu Kai Sha are ready to serve passengers. A network of feeder services has been put in place for those who lived further away from new railway stations.

TD reminds the public to allow time for them to familiarise themselves with the MOS Rail and to avoid last minute rush in making their journeys.
