MTR service disruption causes passengers to wait for over 60 minutes during rush hour

A service disruption occurred at Lam Tin station yesterday during the after work rush hour, affecting the Kwun Tong line severely. From Tiu Keng Leng to Lam Tin, the three stations were packed with crowds of people, and some passengers were forced to switch to alternative transport like the bus, which also had long lines because of the rainy weather.

Apple Daily reports passengers furiously cursing the MTR and that the MTR incompetently resolved the problem only 28 minutes later. However, due to the severe crowding and backlog of passengers at the affected stations, MTR passengers were not able to get on the train until an hour later. 

Some of the passengers stuck at the stations went on Instagram to vent about the situation.
