        One could argue, that it is "because" instead of "amid"...

        MTR has been cooperating with HK gov on a de facto curfew by closing all stations at 10pm every night. They claim that is to repair damaged facilities, but citizens have disclosed and tested some of the marked “out of order” machines were actually working well. #boycottMTR

        That's surprising. They should have plenty of ridership, considering they r now personal transportation for #hkpolice. Weird.pic.twitter.com/HaCKhVhIpx

        香港有冇犧生小我完成大我既精神去配合國家既鐵路發展? 當全國省市已積極配合動工甚至通車時, 菜田村仲係度為雞蒜咁大塊地拗餐懵。中央有哼過你地一句嗎? 自由行係邊個要求的?係港人,因為沙士後百業蕭條,要靠大陸泵水。 亦係港人要求CEPA攞著數的。

        Hong Kong people are boycotting MTR because MTR is controlled by the HK government and is transporting the police #BoycottMTR

        Naw. Like me, many prefer to take a mini or a cab w family. If you ride the Hong Kong MTR, you aways have to worry you might be set upon by armed gangs
