After the completion of the fare adjustment mechanism between the Government and MTR, the "Special Fare Day" (also known as "Thank You Day" by MTR has been introduced, allowing passengers to travel at half price on the same day, replacing the original six-month discount of 97%. Under the mechanism, a half-price day will be introduced for every $2 million penalty for service delay in MTR. MTR replied earlier that if the amount of the reward is less than $500 million, the remaining balance will accumulate and a new half-price day will be arranged for $2 million.
MTR Chairman Au Yeung Pak Kuen said that a total of 500 million people benefited from the past four days of half-price days. Based on the number of beneficiaries and the average fare of MTR, the estimated balance of "Hong Kong 2" is about $500 million, which can be postponed for another day of half-price.
MTR replied that it was verifying the four-day half-price daily payment figure with the Government, and if the amount reached $1 million, it would arrange half-price daily repayment to passengers in due course.
