In service since 1904, the Hong Kong Tramways is a traditional British Isles-style double-decker tramway with street running, along the north shore of Hong Kong Island.

Since 1988,[5] the MTR Light Rail system (then called Light Rail Transit (LRT); part of the KCR network and operated by the KCR Corporation until 2008) has served in the northwest New Territories.
