  "summary": "Hong Kong's MTR Corporation has announced a \"Thank You Day\" on October 24, during which it will offer half-price fares across its network. This discount will apply to various modes of transportation, including railway, Light Rail, bus services in the northwestern New Territories, QR code ticket holders on the heavy rail network, and cross-border journeys to and from Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau stations on the East Rail line. The promotional day falls under MTR's service performance rebate arrangement, which offers discounted fares on a designated Saturday or Sunday once the rebate fund reaches HK$25 million. The discount will not apply to certain services such as East Rail first class, the Airport Express, MTR Feeder Bus services, single-journey tickets, contactless card payments, or the Hong Kong section of the High Speed Rail.",
