What Mtr does

Hong Kong's rail operator, also a major property developer that builds atop and around its stations.

Earns fares under a mechanism that adjusts yearly with wages and costs, plus rent from malls above stations and profits from housing built on station sites that the government lets it develop; the property profits are lumpy. The Hong Kong government is the majority shareholder.

In one line: HK's mass-transit operator with a unique rail-plus-property development model.
