In 2023, approximately 5.2 million passengers per day made journeys on Hong Kong's public railways, representing a rise of almost 25 percent from the previous year. Ridership numbers of most public transport services dropped significantly between 2020 and 2022, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown measures in the city.
