The MTR Corporation said on Monday it's adjusting its service to reflect "a significant decrease in the number of railway passengers" as a result of the latest government measures on social distancing. The changes would take effect from Wednesday.
It said peak hour train services would be unchanged, but non-peak services and services on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays on the Tsuen Wan, Kwun Tong, Island, South Island, Tseung Kwan O, East Rail and West Rail lines would be maintained at an average interval of around 3.5 to 8 minutes.
The MTR said this may mean that passengers may have to wait an extra 30 second or up to two minutes.
It said services on the Tung Chung Line and the Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 during non-peak periods would be adjusted to about 10-minute intervals.
The service on the Airport Express and Disneyland Resort Line during non-peak periods would remain unchanged at intervals of 15 to 30 minutes and 20 minutes respectively.
