If the meterologists in the states are so good like you said. Shouldn't there been zero lives loss from the natural disasters hitting the states?
U been berating the mtr through this thread. U mind to enlighten us how much better are the rail/ underground are run elsewhere especially when there's a hit of such scale and at a short space of time? Especially in the states? ( a country that has very good met, I supposed train service too? )
The problem is the the rail service HK have been operated so efficiently over the past 2-3 decades that the expectation of people are quite high.
Sure when comapre to overseas I think MTR is definitely the best. However you also have to consider the complexity and geographical spread of the network.
I am not blaming MTR not offering connection bus etc...
I think the problem is the the management there is not good at handling the communication and PR front.
Even when there were no alternatives to the passengers they need to let them know instead of just keep on dragging it out and running around like headless chicken.
