Why do foreigners love the Hong Kong subway?
What first impresses Martin is the cleanliness of the cabins. He took the train early in the morning, during the day, rush hour or even after midnight, but every time he found the train cabins clean, without any trash. Photo: Buisness Insider.
The ship also has a special antibacterial coating on the handles and elevators to reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses

Hong Kong is famous for being an expensive place, but the price of the MRT is quite cheap compared to the quality of service. A one-way ticket in the city center costs 13 Hong Kong dollars (about 37,500 VND) If you go a lot, you can buy an Octopus card to save more costs.

Most of the Hong Kong MRT tracks have safety gates at stations. The glass doors and the train doors will open at the same time for passenger safety, and make it easier to locate boarding trains. Photo: ADE.
Train stations have an up and down area with clear arrow markings for visitors. During peak hours, passengers on the train are encouraged to exit from the center of the door, allowing the passengers below to board the train from either side, helping to speed up the process. Photo: Buisness Insider
Each train has electronic maps that help passengers, especially foreign tourists, know where they need to get off.

In addition, the system of direction signs at the MTR stations in Hong Kong is very clear, helping visitors to move in the wide terminal without spending too much time or getting lost. Photo: Hongkong.
Another plus of this metro system is being disabled-friendly, with 90% of the stations having their own elevator to help them access the boarding area without using the stairs. The stations also have at least one barrier-free climb and drop point available to them. Photo: Buisness Insider.
