Arrangements for LRT services during typhoons

In consideration of the traffic safety during typhoons, the service arrangements of Light Rapid Transit system during typhoons are as follows:
 

1. When Typhoon Signal No.1 or Signal No.3 is in effect, the service of Taipa line will be maintained.
2. When the Typhoon Signal No.8 or above is hoisted, the LRT service will be suspended and all stations will be closed. The last trains will depart in 30 minutes before the signal is issued from “Taipa Ferry Terminal station” and “Ocean Station”.
3. When the Meteorological and Geophysics Bureau (SMG) lowers the typhoon signal to Signal No.3 or No.1, train services will be resumed after conducting checks and removing any possible obstructions along the train track. In general, train services will be resumed in 30 minutes after the typhoon signal is replaced by Signal No.3 or No.1.

  Please kindly note that MLM and the operation team will announce the latest news via websites respectively.
 
Meanwhile, for familiarizing the practical operations and the arrangement of information dissemination during the changeover of typhoon signals, MLM and the operation team had arranged exercises in accordance with the typhoon arrangements above in early August this year. The exercises included simulating the suspension of LRT service and conducting subsequent follow-up works during the hoisting of typhoon Signal No.8 or above, as well as the checking of the train track and the resumption of train services after issuing typhoon Signal No.3 or below.
