Hong Kong Train

The trains of hong kong are full, but quiet, the stops are brief, and there aren't that many of them. Hong Kong's rail network comprises public transport trains operated by MTR Corporation Limited, or MTRC. The MTRC operates the metro network of Hong Kong and the commuter rail network connecting the northeastern and northwestern New Territories with the rest of Hong Kong. Approval has been granted for the merger of the MTRC and the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation, the KCRC, following discussions to merge the two corporations for economies of scale and cost effectiveness. The first mode of rail transport was the Peak Tram, serving The Peak, the Mid-levels and the city centre since 1888. Tram started service along the northern coast of the Hong Kong Island in 1904. In 1982, the British Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway began its transition towards electrification, with new EMUs providing rapid transit-like service.
