global city of 7.5 million inhabitants<\/strong> located at the heart of Asia. With limited land and extremely high density, mobility is a constant challenge. The city has developed a strong public transport-oriented policy. Efficient, high-capacity systems connect urban districts, new development areas, and cross-boundary regions; enabling sustainable mobility across the territory and the wider Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1025\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uitpsummit.org\/hongkong2028\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/iStock-672813422_credits_Nikada-Media-Content.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uitpsummit.org\/hongkong2028\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/iStock-672813422_credits_Nikada-Media-Content.webp 1025w, https:\/\/www.uitpsummit.org\/hongkong2028\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/iStock-672813422_credits_Nikada-Media-Content-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.uitpsummit.org\/hongkong2028\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/04\/iStock-672813422_credits_Nikada-Media-Content-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1025px) 100vw, 1025px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"public-transport-system-overview\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Public Transport System Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hong Kong operates one of the world\u2019s most efficient and reliable public transport systems, with around <strong>90% of daily trips<\/strong> and more than <strong>11 million daily passenger journeys<\/strong> made on public transport. The system is highly multimodal and integrated, combining metro, buses, minibuses, trams, ferries and taxis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Railway services operated by <strong>MTR Corporation (MTR)<\/strong> form the backbone of the network, facilitated by franchised buses that provide extensive road-based services across the territory. Public light buses offer flexible feeder services in areas with lower demand, while trams and ferries play complementary roles in specific corridors and for harbour crossings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seamless connections are ensured through coordinated planning and infrastructure, as well as integrated ticketing through the widely used Octopus smart card and many other forms of contactless e-payment. This integration enables smooth transfers and convenient mobility across the network.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hong Kong\u2019s railway network<\/strong> currently spans <strong>over 270km with 99 heavy rail stations<\/strong> and <strong>68 light rail stations<\/strong>. Upon progressive completion of the railway projects under construction and planning, the railway network of Hong Kong is expected to expand to around 390 km, forming an extensive, interconnected and resilient rail system as the backbone of mass passenger transportation, and strengthening the regional connectivity with the Chinese Mainland and the Greater Bay Area. On top of the railway network, to enhance the first-\/last-mile connectivity, the city is also enhancing walking and cycling routes to ensure a truly sustainable urban mobility landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1025\" height=\"684\"
