Getting you there safely! |
Your safety has always been the MTR's top priority. To this end, we operate a state-of-the-art train control and signalling system that ensures there is always a safe distance between trains. To safeguard you against potential fire hazards, we have also installed a highly sensitive fire alarm system and insist on the use of non-combustible materials in all trains.
|
Getting you there reliably! |
Unlike most other forms of public transport in Hong Kong, the MTR is very rarely affected by traffic jams and bad weather. As a result, you will almost always get where you are going right on time. Best of all, our trains run from 5:30 am or 6:00 am in the morning until 1:00 am the following day, seven days a week, all 365 days of the year.
|
Getting you there quickly! |
Just arrived on the platform as your train departs? Don't worry! Our high frequency schedules ensure you'll never have to wait more than a few minutes for another train during peak hours. Even for our dedicated line to the Airport, the Airport Express, trains depart every 12 minutes throughout the day.
|
There's no more perfect way to travel |
As all of our trains and most of our stations are air-conditioned, you will
enjoy a relaxed, hassle-free environment every time you travel with us. This is
something you'll be especially glad of during Hong Kong's hot, humid summer
months. To ensure your every journey with us is a pleasant one, our staffs also
keep all MTR stations and trains spotlessly clean at all times.
|
Convenience that keeps you one step ahead |
To ensure you never waste valuable time, we have strategically located stations in the busiest districts of Hong Kong. To further enhance your travel convenience we have equipped almost all of our stations with multiple, clearly identified exits. For easy access, platforms at all MTR stations are linked to the stations' main concourses by escalators. While on the concourses themselves, you will discover minibanks and kiosks selling daily necessities plus other auxiliary services items such as sale of books, magazines, cakes and cosmetics.
|
Innovative ads that make every ride more enjoyable |
When arriving and departing at many MTR stations, you can see and hear
state-of-the-art sound and motion advertising on specially adapted trackside Plasma TVs.
|
News coverage that keeps you on top |
Eager to discover the latest weather forecast, hourly news updates, stock market performance or how your favourite team is faring in the English Premier League? Many MTR trains incorporate InfoPanels that are now spicing up daily commutes for literally millions of passengers. When travelling on the East Rail, West Rail and Ma On Shan lines, you can even catch regularly updated audio-visual news bulletins from Newsline Express.
