On Wednesday, the MTR reported that services on the Kwun Tong Line were returning to normal after a temporary issue caused trains to skip Lam Tin Station. The problem occurred around 9am, disrupting morning rush hour traffic. Free shuttle bus services were provided between Kwun Tong, Lam Tin, and Yau Tong stations during the disruption.
Commuter Savina expressed satisfaction with the shuttle bus arrangements, stating she was relieved by the temporary transport solution. However, some passengers were unhappy with the MTR's measures; a 90-year-old woman complained about having to walk a long staircase to reach the shuttle bus stop, while another passenger, Lam, criticized the MTR's communication, saying she would have chosen an alternative route if she had known about the disruption beforehand.
