Causeway Bay MTR station
Who designed this station and was he high at the time?
<engineer> Let's make the passengers go down one floor and make them walk up a long, upwards sloping walkway, that eventually exits in the middle of a shopping mall with no signs!
<manager> Here, Here!

I also like how you can't connect between the A/B/C side and the D/E/F exits without entering the train platform itself. As mentioned, Causeway Bay MTR was built when CWB wasn't the CWB of today. I'm not a big fan of CWB in general, but there are some great restaurants in the area.

And excuse for no signs on how to exit the shopping mall is?
Why don't they use escalators like every other station?
Why do passengers coming from Central have to go down to the lower platform only to come back up in a upwards slanted walkway?

I always get lost in the Elements Mall going to/from the Airport Express station.
