On 2 December 2007, the company started running the original KCRC railway system, which the plan is commonly known as the MTRCL-KCRC merger. Following a successful initial public offering, the MTRCL was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 5 October 2000, however the government is still the major stakeholder in the MTRCL.
As with the MTRC, the MTRCL's principal business is to operate the mass transit railway system. On 30 June 2000 the MTRC was succeeded by the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL, Chinese: 地鐵有限公司). Later, it operates and manages the functioning transport system.
The Mass Transit Railway Corporation (Chinese: 地下鐵路公司) was established in 1975 as a government-owned statutory corporation so as to look over the initial construction of the Hong Kong Mass Transport System. It also invests in railways in different parts in the world, and has obtained contracts to operate rapid-transit systems in London, Stockholm, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Melbourne. MTR owns and runs the Hong Kong MTR metro system, and is also a major property developer and landlord in Hong Kong. MTR Corporation Limited is a company listed on the Hong Kong Exchange ( SEHK: 0066) and included in the Hang Seng Index. Heung1 gong2 tit3 lou6 yau5 haan6 gung1 si1
