MTR
There is an East Rail Line station in Ma Liu Shui just by the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The station was originally known as Ma Liu Shui Station, but was later renamed University Station. This is also because the Chinese University of Hong Kong is more well-known than the name "Ma Liu Shui". The MTR plans to build another station called "Science Park" in the Ma Liu Shui area.
