This tram was built in 1997 and shows an older style which feels a bit similar to trams in Charleroi in Belgium.
Unsure of the location of this picture.

Hong Kong's Mass Transit Railway is full of life, and I often take trains back and forth for no better reason than to watch and photograph people. I can only stand it for short periods of time, though.
MTR, or Mass Transit Railway, is the rapid transit railway system in Hong Kong. The MTR first began service in 1979. The present-day MTR network includes 211.6 km of rail with 150 stations, including 85 railway stations and 68 light rail stops. The MTR system is currently being operated by MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL). On 2 December 2007 the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) granted a 50-year service concession (which may be extended) of the KCR network to MTRCL, in return for making annual payments to KCRC, thereby merging the railway operations of the two corporations under MTRCL's management. At the same time MTRCL changed its Chinese name from "地鐵有限公司; Pinyin: Dìtiě Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī" to "香港鐵路有限公司; Pinyin: Xiānggǎng Tiělù Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī", but left its English name unchanged.
Under the government's rail-led transport policy[3], the MTR system is a common mode of public transport in Hong Kong, offering efficiency and affordability, with over 4 million trips made in an average weekday. As of first-half 2009, the MTR has a 42% market share of the franchised public transport market, making it the most popular transport option in Hong Kong.[4] The integration of the Octopus smart card fare-payment technology into the MTR system in September 1997 has further enhanced the ease of commuting on the MTR.
