My comment was about the news story -- I did not intend to make any implication about tzwlh, and I am sorry if anyone understood it as a comment about tzwlh. Indeed, I would thank tzwlh for bringing the article to our attention.

My guess would be that "the people who took the train to cross the sea, observed that the passageway was too long" would have been complaining that it was a long walk from the MTR station (the subway from HK Island) to the KCR train.
