HK MTR - A SUPREME SYSTEM!

The DNA of metro station comes out of the romantic age of travel. Where travel was a luxury and almost every railway station was a destination in its own right, and stations were iconic. The growth of the cities, urbanisation and the need for the mass transport system has potentially changed the design basis for transit stations down two path, one who seek the aspirational design excellence and the next a system thinking model of a mass transit system. The Hong Kong MTR exemplifies the latter model, one can see this system excellence in its business case, its operational excellence, its functional architecture & planning, design standards, highest life safety system globally, etc. Arguably delivering one of the highest transit values for any citizen, in any country, of the world.
