How it's used
Hong Kong residents rarely use this term in daily life because the local rail network is primarily referred to as MTR stations, or 地鐵站. It is mostly reserved for travel outside of the city, such as when taking cross-border trains to mainland China or traveling abroad where traditional railway systems exist. Using it for local travel sounds unnatural and might confuse listeners who associate trains specifically with long-distance travel.

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use this term for local MTR stations, which is incorrect. Always use 地鐵站 for local subway travel to sound like a local.
