NO
The MTR should be broken into THREE
1) Track infrastructure
2) Train operating company (ies)
3) Property developer
At the moment the MTRc has a near monopoly on the trains that run on the tracks. The only exception are a few rickety old Mainland trains that go straight to Guangzhou. By separating the track from the operating of trains time slots could be be auctioned off to the highest bidder enabling a better return. Also when the Northern Link from Kam Sheng Road to Lu Wu / Futian Ko An is finally built more mainland trains could have access to HK tracks improving the link between N.T. West and Shenzhen (sadly this will never happen).
