MTR chairman on the future of urban rail transit

What will subways look like in five years? No longer just a way to move between stations, they are becoming part of everyday urban life — smarter, more intuitive, and better connected. In an interview with China Daily, Jacob Kam Chak-pui, chairman of MTR Corporation, said subways will deliver more intelligent services, support urban renewal, and improve access to modern infrastructure. As China's rail expertise goes global, they are also emerging as a new calling card for the country.
