Hong Kong's MTR Corporation is expanding its high-speed rail service to 16 new destinations in mainland China, bringing the total to 110. The expansion, which includes major eastern hubs like Nanjing and Wuxi, aims to strengthen Hong Kong's connection with the mainland and encourage travel. To celebrate, MTR is offering a limited-time "buy one, get one free" promotion for tickets between West Kowloon and Shenzhen's Futian stations, starting Tuesday. The offer is available through online platforms like HopeGoo, Klook, and Trip.com, while supplies last. Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan hailed the expansion as a significant milestone for public transport.
