Hong Kong has five different rail systems: the heavily utilized Mass Transit Railway (MTR) network, the suburban Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR), the Light Rail Transit (LRT) system, and the Peak funicular tramway and a street tramway. The KCR and LRT are operated by the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) (a wholly Government owned public corporation) while the MTR is operated by the Mass Transit Railway Corporation Limited (MTRCL) (a listed company with Government as the major shareholder). The tramways are owned by private operators.
Railroads account for 31 percent of daily domestic passenger travel and over 80 percent of cross-boundary passenger trips to the Mainland. In line with the Government’s transport policy to use railroads as the backbone of the public transport systems as outlined in the Railway Development Strategy 2000, the rail systems are being extended. Some U.S. $13 billion will be spent on six additional rails targeted for completion between 2008 and 2016. Potential business opportunities for U.S. companies arising from expansion of these two rail systems in exporting of railroad equipment, providing consultancy and project management services.
