Background Case: Profitable MTR System in Hong Kong (In this research case, I want to know what the key factors of the profitable MTR system are. In another word, what conditions other cities in developing countries need in order to successfully replicate the MTR rail-property development model.) In Hong Kong, public transit serves more than 90% of daily trips, and among them 40% are from the metro system, the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) (Wu, 2009). First built in late 1970s, MTR has a daily ridership
MTR Case Analysis Introduction: It is one of the legendary restaurants of south India. It was established in early 1924 in a small house by the grandfather of the current managing partner Hemamalini Maiya (34), active, confident, energetic young woman. Mavalli is one of the oldest towns in Bangalore near the amazing park of Lalbagh. Ganapayya Mavalli starts a Brahmin Coffee House near Lalbagh. It was a small house wit a very little space. This small café turned into a successful ISO certified
This means that most ‘areas of interest’ (e.g. home, school and shops) are within walking distance of the station . For example in Hong Kong, the majority of MTR stations have a shopping mall, health care centre, and police station within five to ten minutes walking distance . If there are multiple TODs around the city, commuters can travel to and from TODs around the city via public transport with relative
Executive Summary VVVF drives used to control the speed of LIM, many industrial automation worldwide such as Trains drives, Automatic Screen Door, Moving Walkway, Lift and Escalator, etc., varying the speed of the drive may save energy compared with other techniques for flow control. This mid-term report prepared for detailing how to design and build the structure of LabVIEW simulation for speed control of Linear induction motor and explaining the characteristic of V/F Speed control for Induction
partnership in the form of build-own-operate or build-own-operate-transfer. (Tai, 2010) MTR Privatization The Mass Transit Railway Corporation (MTRC) was founded in 1975 and wholly owned by the government. After 1998, Hong Kong experienced economic recessions and suffered from budget deficit because of Asian Financial Crisis and internal policy issues. The government therefore thought that the privatization of MTR was the best solution to tackle the problems at a time. The government then came up with
Despite continued dynamic growth in the South African information and communication technology (ICT) sector, most significantly in the mobile sector, this growth has yet to meet the national goals of affordable access for all South Africans to the full range of information and communication services. Access to mobile voice and data continues to grow, however broadband access (in particular fixed-line broadband) remains comparatively and noticeably lower than other lower to middle income countries

EFFECTS OF ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY ON THE ANTHROSPHERE INTRODUCTION The atmosphere rises to 500 km above Earth's surface. The atmosphere is divided into four parts based on temperature change in relation to change in altitude. The four parts are the: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, and Thermosphere. This paper will be discussing instability in the Troposphere, the lowest level, since it is where the Earth's weather takes place. Tropospheric instability often times yields severe weather
without notice it. Apathy between the individuals has been proven in our daily lives. While people living in the rural area, people usually interact with each other; in cities, people tend to “intentionally ignore” the sight of others. When we are in the MTR trains, we are disconnected. We are not only to refuse talking with the strangers, but also refuse to give a smile. Though we are only a few centimetres apart, it sounds like our minds are miles away. Also, there was a piece of news report in Taiwan

Some of the ways the British aided Hong Kong was the economy, the transportation and even created a system of governance in HK. Without the Britain

To someone, the job of civil engineers may just be designing how to build a building or an infrastructure. To civil engineers, however, their works are far beyond that point. In fact, engineers do not only construct a building. As a civil engineering project has close relationship with the people and environment, engineers should be considerate and responsible to the above sectors. This essay will discuss the social responsibilities of civil engineers. The foremost purpose of a civil engineering

Appalachia is a 205,000-square-mile region that follows the spine of the Appalachian Mountains stretching from southern New York to northern Mississippi. It is home to more than 25 million people. Being rich in natural resources, the region contains some of the richest mineral deposits in America (Daugneaux 1981). The coal, timber, oil, gas, and water contained within the Appalachian Mountains are resources that have historically influenced the economic characteristics of the region. The Region's
