I was on subways in Guangzhou and Hong Kong some 8 or 9 years ago. They make American subways look medieval. They also make it nearly impossible to push someone on the tracks, because there is a partition between the platform and the tracks. The train pulls up with its doors precisely aligned to the station barrier doors, and both open together.
“He who builds last builds best.”
Japanese trains and subways the same . Futuristic !
All built when the Brits ran the place.
Come and see the rapid decline I’m living through.
Cops traveling in packs arresting people for not “properly” wearing masks. Construction sites stopped for months because one guy has COVID.
Entire complexes of 5-6 buildings locked down so they can find 9 cases of Covid.
Lan Kwai Fong and SOHO tourist locations just a bunch of vacant storefronts.
Hong Kong is done. And the MTR is a private company btw.
