Future Projects Of The MTR
Several future projects on the MTR have been put forward by the MTR Corporation to the Hong Kong Government, with some already under construction.
With the rail merger with the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation in 2007, the combined network increased to 211.6 km. Committed and future railway projects will increase the network to over 270 km by 2019 while postponed projects may further increase it to over 300 km. Some other long term railway development possibilities should be further investigated if planning parameters change significantly.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or projects:
“... the loss of belief in future states is politically, though certainly not spiritually, the most significant distinction between our present period and the centuries before. And this loss is definite. For no matter how religious our world may turn again, or how much authentic faith still exists in it, or how deeply our moral values may be rooted in our religious systems, the fear of hell is no longer among the motives which would prevent or stimulate the actions of a majority.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
