MTR to honor disabled with free rides on November 13
To support this year’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the MTR Corporation is offering free rides to disabled commuters and their caretakers on November 1.
Any passengers using their personalized Octopus cards with “Persons with Disabilities Status” can simply hop on any MTR, Light Rails, and MTR buses that day free of charge.
They can also present their valid Registration Card for People with Disabilities at any MTR Customer Service Centre to redeem themselves and their caretaker free Single Journey Tickets.
“By supporting the free ride day of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we hope passengers with disabilities will make use of the free ride day to have an enjoyable and relaxing Sunday by taking the MTR,” said Jeny Yeung, Hong Kong Transport Services Director of MTR Corporation.
“And at the same time, the passengers can experience the new East Rail Line crossing the harbor in a faster and more convenient manner, exploring distinctive cultures and landmarks in different districts,” Yeung added.
