  "account": "The MTR announced on Wednesday that services on the Kwun Tong Line are returning to normal after a temporary disruption. Trains had been skipping Lam Tin Station due to smoke emitting from platform equipment. This incident occurred around 9am and caused morning rush hour traffic issues. Free shuttle buses were provided between Kwun Tong, Lam Tin, and Yau Tong stations to help affected passengers. Commuter Savina expressed satisfaction with the shuttle bus service, stating that it made her journey manageable. However, the arrangement was less favorable for elderly passengers like a 90-year-old woman who had to navigate a long staircase to reach the shuttle bus stop and felt frustrated by the process.
