MTR Corp, whose network carries about 5 million passengers a day, said a line servicing a densely populated area in the city's New Territories would not operate and all lines would close by 9pm local time, more than three hours earlier than normal.The usually efficient service was forced to shut down after arson attacks on Friday night, paralysing transportation across the Chinese-ruled city. It has operated only partially since.
However, the unrest has pushed the special administrative region into its worst political crisis since 1997 and poses the biggest popular challenge to Chinese President Xi Jinping since he came to power in 2012. Protest violence has often targeted the MTR, which is blamed for closing stations at the government's behest to stop demonstrators gathering.A protester walks past a burning barrier outside Mong Kok MTR station during a demonstration in Hong Kong on Oct 6, 2019.
