	KCR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		KCR West Rail was proposed in the early 1990s and both the Mass Transit Railway Corporation (MTRC, now the MTR Corporation Limited, MTRCL) and Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) submitted plans to the government.
		Critics have said that the stations are located too far away from the main residential areas, and a trip on the Light Rail is often needed to connect to the West Rail.
		As of March 2005, there are 15 West Rail and Light Rail feeder bus routes, and one residential route.

	KCR Light Rail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The KCR Light Rail is one of the four systems of the KCR network in Hong Kong.
		With the increase of internal commuter traffic demand, the Light Rail built a spur line north of Hung Shui Kiu station that opened in 1993, with four stations serving the initial housing areas of the town.
		For this purpose, an interchange discount system was launched with the introduction of the West Rail system, meaning that passengers would pay no more (and in some cases less) to travel on the West Rail instead of the Light Rail for the main part of their journey.

		The Athens Metro's Blue Line shares tracks with suburban rail services in order to connect the metro to Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, but does not stop at the suburban rail stations because the platforms for the stations are higher than the train's floor.
		Budapest is a perfect example where the two more modern metro lines connect with buses and trams and also with two circular tram routes (one closer to and one further from the city centre) that allow travel between suburbs and also into the centre of the city by changing onto the metro.
		Power is commonly supplied by means of a single live third rail (as in New York) at 600 to 750 volts, but some systems use two live rails (notably London) and thus eliminate the return current from the running rails.
