The Mass Transit Railway (MTR) has five lines:
- Island Line (blue), which runs along the north side of Hong Kong island
- Tsuen Wan Line (red), which crosses under the harbor from Admiralty on
the island and passes through Kowloon on the way to the western New Territories
- Tung Chun Line (orange), which follows the same line as the Airport
Express but makes local stops to Lantau Island
- Kwun Tong Line (green), which links Kowloon's Yau Ma Tei station to Tiu
Keng Leng
- Tseung Kwun O Extension (purple), which begins on Hong Kong Island, then
crosses the harbor and heads northeast to Po Lam in Kowloon.
Air-conditioned, fast, and squeaky clean, MTR is
relatively expensive (distance based fares of HKG $4 to $26), and uses
stored-value cards which must be read by machines upon entry and exit.
Alternatively, the Octopus Card can be used by waving it near the card
reader.
MTR trainsets are permanently-linked and open/articulated
car-to-car, so that passengers can move from one end of the train to
the other without passing through any doors. Some stations have
platform-edge doors, and others do not. All signage and announcements
are in both Chinese and English, and the system is extremely easy to
navigate.
