Hong Kong is home to the most efficient subway system in the world, boasting a 99.9% on-time rate.
Now, it is a very happy coincidence that the MTR happens to be the most efficient subway system in the world. Or, perhaps it is no coincidence at all.
Nonetheless, the MTR is a very interesting place to study the behaviour of Hong Kongers in a restraint environment. And, contrary to the I-don’t-give-a-fuck attitude that can be observed above ground, in the MTR an I-kinda-give-a-fuck attitude (if it’s in my interest) arises.
