Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

When attempting to move large numbers of passengers effectively, consideration must be given to station design. This is the case with Hong Kong's Mass Transit Rail (MTR), whose reputation for operating highly efficient metro services is globally known. MTR's design philosophy for its stations is discussed here, as well as its ability to be flexible in accommodating commercial opportunities, in order to remain financially strong.
