The MTR trains are supposed to be mind-blowing! They're completely articulated so that the entire train can be evacuated without obstruction. I've seen footage and it's almost sexy. Have a great time!

I've been on a crazy number of systems on three continents. From the tiny VAL in Rennes to the networks upon networks in Paris; from the sprawl of New York City to the clumsy but almost personal Buffalo system. Each has a reason to love it, from age and grace to sleekness and efficiency.
