MTR which stands for Mass Transit Railway, is the metro system of Hong Kong.
It's the VTA of San Jose, Metro of NY, and BART of the Bay Area.
The mass population of HK don't drive for MANY reasons.
1. Gas is SUPER expensive. You think gas is expensive in the states.. well come to Hong Kong and see for yourself. We pump gas by the gallons, people in Hong Kong pump by LITERS!
2. Parking is a B*tch! You better learn how to drive backwards, if you want to drive here!
The parking spaces are super narrow, you will have to get out of the car before the driver parks into his/her designated space in an apt complex.. AND PARALLEL PARKING!
3. With limited space comes expensive parking structures.
4. Why drive when you can get a TAXI with just a wave.
5. You better drive a nice car! Cars with dents, taped up rear view mirrors, or missing hub caps is a disgrace. (the garages in the video aren't typical garages for 'regular' people)
Here is a video on HK Garages titled:
I don't drive because:Hong Kong Parking Garage Makes Us Feel Inadequate
