Hong Kong transport networks partially re-open

Hong Kong: Transport networks, including Mass Transit Railway (MTR) stations, across Hong Kong partially reopened on Sunday after it was completely shut the day before in an unprecedented shutdown.
In an early morning statement cited by The Strait Times, the Transport Department said that some MTR stations remain closed due to “serious damage”. Many of those stations had been torched and trashed by protesters during violent demonstrations across the Asian financial centre on Friday night against the mask ban.
MTR Corporation said the stations were closed as it needed time to repair the damaged facilities.
All train services in Hong Kong, including the airport express line, were suspended on Saturday, a day after angry protesters vandalised businesses and railway stations over government’s introduction of a new anti-mask law.
The latest violence was triggered by the Hong Kong government’s decision to impose an anti-mask law that took effect at midnight on Friday. The controversial restriction bars anyone from wearing “facial coverings” during demonstrations, regardless of the assembly’s legal status, that is “likely to prevent identification”.
The stations that still remain closed include the major interchanges of Admiralty, Prince Edward, Mong Kok and Tai Wai, according to South China Morning Post.
