The Hong Kong rail system, MTR, has been disrupted on multiple occasions by demonstrators in the last two months.
The demonstrations in Hong Kong that started as peaceful rallies have become more violent and sometimes cause disruption to daily commuters using the MTR, the city's underground system.
The chief executive of MTR, Jacob Kam, told CNBC on Friday that his company was facing its most serious challenge in its 40-year history, and called for better cooperation from both commuters and protesters. Kam said the company respects protesters' rights to express their views freely but while they're doing so, they should be mindful not to disrupt the rights of people who wish to travel safely.
