Artificial intelligence on the subway
The AI boss that deploys Hong Kong's subway engineers: "An algorithm schedules and manages the nightly engineering work on one of the world's best subway systems – and does it more efficiently than any human could." Martinevans123 (talk) 21:18, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Track gauge in Hong Kong
Not notable enough as independent article. Can be merged there. « « «  SOME GADGET GEEK  » » » (talk) 17:12, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This is part of the "track gauge in For" series. 1.64.48.46 (talk) 08:44, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Makes the other article more complicated, or too long. Peter Horn User talk 14:40, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Water crossings
Hi, mention of water crossings would be appropriate. Are all crossings in tunnels? Is any bridge used? Regards, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 03:44, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

More details on the MTR financial strategy
I found that the articles only talk about the MTR investment of property holdings as the main revenue income. Ticket revenue also contributes to a significant amount. According to an interview done CNN, the "farebox recovery rate", also known as the percentage of income derived from ticket sales weighed against operating expense, is incredibly high for MTR, between 150%-180%. Meanwhile, other metro transit systems in the U.S only had a 60% farebox recover rate. This should also be a critical factor for the success of the Hongkong Transit system. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/hong-kong-mtr-success-story/index.html Martinmadison (talk) 17:51, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
