 MTR : Encyclopedia Entry
MTR Corporation Limited has always been reliant on developing properties next to railway stations for its profits (although the rail lines are profitable themselves); many recently built stations are incorporated into large housing estates or shopping complexes.
After extensive retrofits, the MTR system has become, in general, disabled-friendly — the trains have dedicated wheelchair space, the stations have special floor tiles to guide the blind safely on the platforms, and there are extra wide entry and exit gates for wheelchairs as well.
The network is also set to be significantly expanded with the merger of MTR Corporation Limited with the government-owned Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC), with the non-binding Memorandum of Understanding signed on 11 April 2006 to grant MTR Corporation operation of the existing KCR network with a service concession of 50 years.

The Island Line is the MTR line that resembles the deep-level lines of the London Underground the most, as most of the route and stations along the line are rather deep underground and consist of cylindrical tunnels.
As a result, the MTR Corporation is now conducting extensive surveys as well as public forums to gather opinion and suggestions concerning the alignment of the extension and location of the Sai Ying Pun, Shek Tong Tsui and Kennedy Town stations for the West Island Line.
The Hong Kong Government has once invited MTR to extend the Island Line to Siu Sai Wan, but after an initial survey that lasted for more than a year, all the proposed routes were deemed too winding and disruptive to local residents, therefore dismissing the extension.
