Abstract:
Many believe that MTR’s services have deteriorated through recent years. The performance statistics tell a different story. This seminar will discuss how MTR is trying to manage the situation. As a comparison, some of the results from international metro benchmarking by CoMET (Community of Metros) and from the Urban Mobility studies by UITP (International Union of Public Transport), will be discussed for future development.
