The government has moved to reassure that tickets to all mainland destinations on the Express Rail Link will be available for sale in the West Kowloon Station.
Earlier on Sunday MTR Corporation chairman Frederick Ma had drawn criticism after saying that tickets to certain cities would only be available in mainland stations, due to problems with the ticketing system
However, a government spokesman told RTHK that cross-border tickets to 18 mainland destinations will be directly available for sale in Hong Kong and passengers who want to take a second-leg journey to other cities can still get tickets here with an extra service charge.
He said this was because the MTR is not authorised to sell tickets for certain mainland sections.
The MTR is still negotiating with the mainland operator.
