Lee (2017) complemented that Hong Kong passengers rarely experience train delay even during peak hours. It was cited that a small percentage of 0.1% Hong Kong passengers encounter train delay as compared to Singapore which stands at 4%. The high train frequency has helped to manage the crowd and provide a smoother transport experience.

However, it fails to discuss other aspect that may influence...
