MTR (Metro Transit Railway), Hongkong

What makes a city livable? It is compact, walkable, safe, mixed use, auto free. One way to make this possible is by having public transport. In HongKong, The MTR system carries about 4 million people everyday.

Hong Kong ranks as 31st in the 2009 Economist Livable Cities Survey. One of the reason for this is the presence of an extensive, affordable and accessible public transport system provided by the MTR Corporation. This company was started in 1975 and its sole shareholder was the Hong Kong government. Now it is a public traded company.
