In one of the worse chaotic situation Hong Kong has been in, peak hour train travel and flights in Hong Kong have been thrown off-trail with pro-democracy protestors attempting a city-wide attack to increase pressure on the city's leaders.
Activists descended on key subway stations during the morning rush hour, deliberately keeping open doors to stop trains departing, causing long queues and triggering occasional scuffles between angry commuters and protesters.
At the city airport, more than 100 flights were also listed as cancelled after aviation authorities warned passengers about potential disruptions. "As long as the government doesn't respond then for sure the movement will escalate," said Leung, a civil servant.
Commuters have been angered by the morning transport chaos, while some others said that they support it as they were pro-action after more than two months of protests for democratic freedoms.
Protesters have been charged with rioting, a charge with a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail.
Over the weekend riot, police fired tear gas at protesters in multiple districts throughout Saturday and Sunday night.
Protesters also plan to hold rallies in seven different parts of the city, the fourth day in a row that protests have been scheduled.
Carrie Lam refuses to step down
The city's executive leader Carrie Lam held a news conference, where she said, "The recent protests and marches have seen escalating violence, and these worrying acts have gone beyond (protesting the Bill)." She also said that this was the time for her to continue and lead her team into bringing the difficult situation in Hong Kong to control.
"I don’t think at this point in time, my resignation or that of my colleagues would (help the situation)," she said.
"Hong Kong values freedoms, that includes freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, freedom of media representation ... we respect that expression and we will listen … (but) the crisis in front of us is not about aspirations or the Bill, it is about Hong Kong's security and law and order."
"The great majority of Hong Kongers face anxiety over their daily lives. Some of them do not know whether they can still take some forms of public transport, while others right now are being blocked on their way to work," she said of the transport situation.
The leader also defended the actions of the police force through the course of the protests. In recent weeks, the police have been heavy-handed with the use of tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse protesters.
Many Hong Kong citizens feel that the rights of citizens have been curtailed with dissident booksellers being deported to the mainland, prominent politicians being disqualified and pro-democracy protestors being arrested.
