The light rail line, run by the Kowloon Canton Railway
Corp, opened for business in 1988. Much in the way of the Shaker
Heights light rail lines in Cleveland, the systems was built, in part,
to serve the Tuen Mun development, also built and run by the KCRC.
The 8 route system consists of 31.7 km and 57 stops, and
is mostly at grade. Several extensions are underway, including a 2.7
km extension to Tin Shui Wei, due to be completed in
2003. Reconstruction of grade crossings into grade seperated crossings
are now taking place in Tuen Mun.
Other upgrades and extensions include integrations with
the KCR West Line, also under construction, via a 1.7 km, 4 station
loop to Tin Shui Wa terminus. Another 2.65 km, 5 station extension is
planned. Though construction on the latter extension hasn't begun, it
is expected to be complete for the opening of the KCR West Rail line.
