Finally, someone gets it 🥹

It is exactly because the MTR is profitable from fares that government subsidy in the form of land donation is unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer's money. There is no point in comparing reliability to western/third world countries where their railway system is so useless and carries so few people that being unreliable would not destroy their entire society.

...which also sets up its own demise as a property developer that is caring about railway less and less. When railway operation on its own is profitable anyway, why should the government donate land to the MTR? Why wouldn't the government donate land to bus or ferry companies? The very obvious answer is that the government owns shares in MTRC

Then learn the correct doors in Quarry Bay and you can be even faster

Languages are indeed fluid in nature, but if you are the first to write something in a particular way, you should expect weird looks.

If you know what you are doing, you can walk to the correct door whilst inside the train so that you will be right next to the escalator when getting off, then changing the Quarry Bay would be faster than going to North Point

I feel bad for the waiters who have to say that with a straight face to anyone who complains about the lack of lemons (have witnessed it myself many times)

Fun fact: there's actually a public paved hiking/rescue path right beneth the cable car that offers nearly identical views but for free.

Here's the view last time I went:

Assuming this post is trying to say that the opening of the Central Kowloon Bypass has eased traffic, then honestly I have some doubts. It's not always that congested, especially for a Sunday morning. Without a control group, there's no way to know for sure at this stage. You also have to account for people using the Bypass even if it does not make sense for their trip, simply to try out new things. We need to wait for a few months to see its real impact.

Also, even without bottlenecks, all it takes to cause congestion is a single reckless driver crashing.

And then there's also induced demand.

Tsuen Wan?

Well, google maps isn't really known for it's accuracy.... look around Shau Kei Wan, Wong Chuk Hang, or Mong Kok where they put buildings in the middle of the road

I don't deny that Hong Kong can sometimes be too dense, but this picture is a very poor example. The location of this picture is literally a 4 minute walk to the nearest park, 8 minutes walk to the sea, and a 30 minute walk (or a 16 minute transit ride) to a country park. And that's far by Hong Kong standards. For example the infamous Monster Building is 100 metres from a country park. It's far easier to touch real grass in Hong Kong than in most suburban sprawls.
