MTR passenger etiquette sparks social media debate in Hong Kong

Recent social media discussions in Hong Kong have highlighted various issues regarding passenger etiquette and order on the MTR. One viral incident involved photos of numerous passengers sitting on the floor of train carriages, obstructing walkways. This has sparked a debate among netizens, with some comparing Hong Kong's transit management to that of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, suggesting that mainland cities may have more effective enforcement and security presence to prevent such disruptions.

In a separate trending topic, a netizen shared a humorous illustration on Threads describing a common frustration: passengers who refuse to let go of handrails even as they are exiting the train. This behavior, which often leaves others squeezed into tight spaces near the doors, has resonated with many commuters who noted that such habits are frequently observed among elderly passengers on both trains and buses.
