Synopsis

  • This video provides information about Hong Kong's efficient and profitable public transit systems, including the Mass Transit Railway (MTR), which has more than 5.9 million riders each day.
  • Students will learn that the MTR is able to turn a profit while keeping passenger prices low by incorporating funding from the sale or rental of land near the railway.
  • Though the MTR provides clean, comfortable, and punctual transportation, the government has also used the system to exert control over the people, especially during government protests.
