Transport companies on Thursday geared up for the arrival of Super Typhoon Yagi, with some services ramped up before an inevitable winding down after a signal 8 storm warning is issued at 6.20pm. Citybus said it was strengthening its services in the afternoon to help people get home from work. "We will maintain our daytime services for around 2 to 3 hours when the signal No 8 is in effect," it said in a statement. Meanwhile, the MTR said it will provide a limited rail service when the signal 8 is in force, and buses will run for three hours after the warning is issued. The company said further disruption to services is possible if weather conditions worsen, and any issuance of a signal 9 or 10 would prevent trains from running on overground sections of the network. Ferry services will likely be halted this evening in light of the approaching typhoon, with a number of smaller routes already suspended from Thursday morning.
