ENTER THE MTR
any decision to extend the system beyond its current size would have to be made by the government.
Presently under study by the government and the MTR Corporation is the upgrading of Hong Kong's 74-year-old tramway system. It is envisaged that the system might be segregated from other forms of traffic and employ higher capacity, higher velocity, light rail vehicles. Under such a plan, the tram lines would run underground through Central District at Chater and Admiralty stations where provision has already been made to accommodate an Island Line. Further sections of the system could go underground until, in the 1990s, the line could be of a mass transit type. No decision on the matter has yet been reached.
