It is estimated that the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link will save an average of 39 million hours of travel time per year during the 50-year operation period. The day-to-day operation and maintenance of railways, as well as retail, catering and station management and services at West Kowloon Station, directly create job opportunities for Hong Kong people.
