      I understand what you're saying about train transport being a big part of people's life in Hong Kong but it ain't that deep I'm not standing in line sleeping in a train station to be the first on a train that's crazy. I can think of a number of other things to get excited about thought just hit me they're opening up the floodgates in Hong Kong for a new train station but I believe it's in Shanghai they got everybody in lockdown. I know Hong Kong has somewhat of a different history than Shanghai but it's the same country same government I guess it's just crazy all the extremes.

    I love hongkong MTR, it literally can transport us to almost every place in Hong Kong. It inspired many Asian cities to do the same, like Bangkok BTS and Jakarta MRT. Still, nothing compares to hongkong MTR, millions passenger capacity, great total distance, many many shops around the MRT. I think the only downside is how hongkong people always seems like running in the MTR area, even their MTR escalators are so much faster and higher than the regular asian MRT escalators.
