Hong Kong almost without exception occupies the first place on the ranking list of world cities with the best public transportation for several reasons and certainly not accidentally. In this city, the public transport system is well developed, it has a solid infrastructure and is characterized by accessibility and great data density.
Metro in Hong Kong or MTR (mass transport railway) is one of the most advanced metro systems in the world. Each day about 10 million trips are performed, and trains drive enough often that waiting time never exceeds a few minutes. Even in the spike.
MTR is also connected with other types of public transport, such as buses, trams, ferries, and even airport transfers, and its passengers can pay their cards contactless, which certainly contributes to the reduction of crowds. MTR is also the only system of metro whose platforms are surrounded by glass, ie glass doors.
The MTR consists of 166 stations where delays and traffic interruptions are minimized. Thanks to efficient public transport, Hong Kong has a very low car possession rate, and although it is a huge metropolis, in fact it is suitable for pedestrians.
