Hong Kong, with a land area of only 1,099 square kilometres of which about 17 per cent is built-up, has a population of more than six million.
Every day, over 11 million passenger journeys are made on a public transport system which includes two high capacity railways, trams, buses, minibuses, taxis and ferries.
There are about 275 licensed vehicles for every kilometre of road, and the topography makes it increasingly difficult to provide additional road capacity in the heavily built-up areas.
MTR is an underground railway network with seven lines and 53 stations. Operated by the MTR Corporation Limited, each line was built in stages with the first passenger train starting operation in October 1979. Tseung Kwan O Line and Disneyland Resort Line came into service in August 2002 and August 2005 respectively. The total route length of Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Island Line, Tseung Kwan O Line, Tung Chung Line, Disneyland Resort Line and Airport Express Line is 91 kilometres. Single adult fares range from $4 to $26, and $60 to $100 for Airport Express Line.
Playing one of the key roles in Hong Kong public transport, taxi provides a convenient personalized point-to-point transport service. At present there are 18,138 taxis in Hong Kong, of which 15,250 are urban taxis, 2,838 are NT taxis and 50 are Lantau taxis. The average daily taxi patronage is about 1 million. Urban taxis operate throughout Hong Kong including the airport and Hong Kong Disneyland, (except Tung Chung Road and roads in south Lantau). NT taxis are fundamentally confined to rural areas in the New Territories, the airport, Hong Kong Disneyland and are permitted to several certain locations in the urban area through specified routes. Lantau taxis operate only on Lantau Island (including the airport and Hong Kong Disneyland).

Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or
if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
