Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:EngvarB Шаблон:Infobox station Causeway Bay (Шаблон:Zh) is a station on the MTR network on Wan Chai District, Hong Kong. The station is between Шаблон:STN and Шаблон:STN stations on the Шаблон:Lnl.[1] It serves the locality of East Point within the same district.

History

In 1967, Freeman Fox and Wilbur Smith Associates released the government-commissioned Mass Transport Study, which proposed a new underground railway. The plan included the Шаблон:Lnl between Шаблон:STN and Шаблон:STN stations.[2] When the Mass Transport Provisional Authority was founded, minor alterations were made with the Шаблон:STN to Kennedy Town section cancelled.[note 1] The government gave approval on the 95-million-dollar construction of the line on 23 December 1980[3] and work started in October 1982. In 1984, the station construction site was sold by MTR to Taisei Corporation for $380m, now the location of Sogo Hong Kong.[4] The station opened with the first section of the Island line from Шаблон:STN to Chai Wan on 31 May 1985.[2]

Services

The station is situated between Шаблон:STN and Шаблон:STN stations on the Шаблон:Lnl.[1] The typical off-peak service is 17 trains per hour in both directions, which is a train every 3–6 minutes.[5]

Entrances/exits

Causeway Bay is a primary shopping district in Hong Kong[note 2] with exits from the MTR leading directly into major outlets such as Sogo and Times Square, which can be accessed through a long, upward sloping pedestrian walkway at Exit A.

Unlike other MTR stations, there are three different concourses in Causeway Bay station. After exiting the paid areas through the turnstiles, the other two concourses are inaccessible underground. The west and east concourses were opened on 31 May 1985 with the opening of the station, while the south concourse and Exit A were opened in 1994 with the opening of Times Square.
