Find problem here is that it is fine when you all have an office
Job and get to go home, there r many people with no such option
I don't think there were many alternatives by the time the trains did get suspended.
My +1 did stay behind in the office quite late. She only agreed to do so when I assured her I'm able and willing to swing the car around and pick her up. Otherwise she would take the MTR.
Both our cos have staff who are not allowed to go home - guards, emergency repair crews and the like. They have to stay at work even if their shift has ended - just like black rainstorm.
Assuming the MTR (esp externally-exposed lines like East Rail) will still run no matter what the weather is like is unrealistic.
