How it's used
Shortening Airport Express to 機鐵 is the standard way to refer to this specific train line in daily life. It is distinct from the regular MTR lines because it is an express service with a higher fare and dedicated luggage racks. Locals often use it as a benchmark for speed when comparing travel options to the airport.
