The MTR is the rapid transit system serving Hong Kong. It stretches from the south in Hong Kong Island to the border with mainland China (such as at Lo Wu Station). Every weekday, it averages 4 million trips, making it the most popular mode of transport in Hong Kong. The majority of the original system opened in the late 1970s to the mid 1980s, before it was joined by the new Airport Express line to Hong Kong International Airport and the addition of former Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR) lines.
