The MTR Corporation said on Friday that it's closed Causeway Bay, Sai Wan Ho, Tsuen Wan, Mong Kok, Sha Tin, Whompoa, Tseung Kwan O and Ma On Shan stations, and all Light Rail services have been suspended.
It didn't give details of the reason for the changes, but referred to "an escalation of the situation in stations" and said the closure of the stations was to ensure the safety of passengers and staff.
It warned other stations may also close without notice.
The MTR has been a frequent target for protests in recent months, causing closures of some routes and stations after vandalism by protesters.
