  "summary": "Hong Kong's MTR Corporation has announced that it will be offering half-price fares on its rail, Light Rail, and bus services across the city on October 24, in a \"Thank You Day\" initiative. This discount will apply to Octopus and JoyYou card users, as well as QR code ticket holders on both the heavy rail network and the northwestern New Territories network. Passengers traveling to and from Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau stations on the East Rail line, as well as those using cross-border journeys, will also benefit from the discounted fares. The MTR Corporation has stated that it will deploy additional staff at stations to assist passengers and monitor train and station operations during this promotional day. The offer is part of the service performance rebate arrangement, which provides discounted fares once the rebate fund reaches a certain threshold.",
