Arguably the best and most efficient metro in the world. It works so effortlessly because the density of Hong-Kong allows for a single station to offer easy access for many riders being that the developed areas do not take up a lot of space having no spawl.

The big downside compared to Tokyo is the lack of express service IMO, which along with its enormously bigger scale, puts it way ahead for me.

@@alphachiu lol we’re talking about Tokyo here, do you honestly think it’s not clean in Japan? And sure, that’s one express line… while most rail lines in the 23 special wards of Tokyo have several levels of express service. JR Saikyo Line, Shonan Shinjuku Line, Yokosuka Line, Chuo Line, Keisei Line, Odakyu Line, Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin F-Liner, Keio Inokashira Line, Keio Line, Tokyo Monorail, Tokyu Toyoko Line, Den En Toshi Line, Seibu Ikebukuro Line, Tobu Isesaki Line, various special express services like Narita Express, and we’re ignoring long distance lines like all of the Shinkansen, Odoriko, Wakashio, Azusa, Sazanami, Romancecar, Spacia… the list keeps going on indefinitely. Hong Kong is great and has excellent infrastructure for its needs, but I don’t think it can reasonably compare to the 130+ lines that comprise the Tokyo rail system (arguably nowhere can). Speaking as someone who has spent plenty of time in Hong Kong and lives in Tokyo.

Coastlines of Hongkong have kept changing since 1850's because of reclamation. The section between Kowloon and Hunghom Stations on the blue line (KCRC British Section) followed the coastline of the 1910's. If a map of that era is used, it would be easier to understand why the track alignment was designed.

It’s fun seeing the extensions for myself after I was born (i grew up knowing the mtr with the 2009 map with lohas park). Always hyped here for new stations, I’ve seen the Island line extension, kwun tong line extension, south island line added, ma on shan line + west rail -> tuen ma line, east rail line extension etc., and I’m still very excited for more even as an adult now

The video is amazing. Good Job! Btw. There are somewhere else can be fixed that would be more perfect to the video as following. 1. KCR British Section before rename to East Rail, the Railway line represented in the black and white stripes line. 2. KCR: East Rail used #0089d0 ; West Rail used #c93a95 ; Ma On Shan Rail used #a44c0e ; Light Rail used #f79239 3. The KCR Circle Station Symbols is different to the MTR symbol. Those were be used in the same colour as the line instead of using the black stroke like MTR, and also the symbol size was bigger than the MTR version.

Late reply, but the rail line used to follow the coast at the time. So the bendyness is actually where the land meets the sea at the time of construction. It was straightened to allow faster and more efficient service since by then, the sea is close to where the modern borders are at.

The East Rail Line from Hung Hom to Admiralty opened in 2023, I believe. The Exhibition Centre station is just south of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Note that many Chinese tourists come to Hong Kong through the East Line since it connects directly with China through Lo Wu (and way cheaper than the HSR system from Guangzhou).
