Causeway Bay (Chinese: 銅鑼灣; Cantonese Yale: Tùnglòwāan) is a station on the MTR network on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The station is between Wan Chai and Tin Hau stations on the Island Line. It serves the locality of Causeway Bay and the Happy Valley Racecourse within Wan Chai District.
In 1967, Freeman Fox and Wilbur Smith Associates released the government-commissioned Mass Transport Study, which proposed a new underground railway. The plan included the Island Line between Kennedy Town and Chai Wan stations. When the Mass Transport Provisional Authority was founded, minor alterations were made with the Sheung Wan to Kennedy Town section cancelled. The government gave approval on the 95-million-dollar construction of the line on 23 December 1980 and work started in October 1982. The first section of the line opened from Admiralty to Chai Wan on 31 May 1985.
The station is situated between Wan Chai and Tin Hau stations on the Island Line. The typical off-peak service is 17 trains per hour in both directions, which is a train every 3–6 minutes. There was a time when there was a special service in operation between Admiralty and Tai Koo on the Island Line due to shortage of train operators. This service was withdrawn after 1 October 1986, about 5 months after the extension to Sheung Wan.
