- Answering enquiries
Enquiries about MTR services are most welcomed. Comments that are similar or duplicated, containing misleading content, unknown meaning or mainly to share external website’s content will be re-ordered or, however, unretained
This also applies to complaints about other passengers’ misbehaviour, since cameras and keyboards could not prevent these events from happening
