Hong Kong's MTR Corp is urged to investigate a recent 1½-hour shutdown of the Island line, suspected to be due to human error linked to maintenance protocol noncompliance. Former lawmaker Gary Zhang emphasized the need for strict adherence to maintenance procedures and staff training. The disruption, caused by items from a maintenance vehicle damaging track equipment, led to service suspension between Sheung Wan and Quarry Bay. Authorities have requested a report within a month, with suggestions to improve maintenance practices and possibly adjust service hours for better maintenance scheduling.
