Integrated Transport Study (1976)
In 1976 the Government invited a consultation company to carry out a study on transportation in Hong Kong. The resulting report proposed the Sha Tin Loop, East Kowloon Line and the Tsim Sha Tsui extension, built in stages to replace the original EKL proposal. The Loop and the TST extension did not have much difference from the 1967 proposal, although the new arrangement was to let KCRC operate the two lines first, to be transferred to MTRC after completion of the East Kowloon Line.

—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.”
