HONG KONG metro operator MTR Corp has been restructured as a limited company - MTR Corporation Ltd - with effect from June 30, paving the way for the government’s planned sale of a minority shareholding later this year.

In June MTRC signed an HK$2·3m agreement to provide track maintenance consultancy services to Taipei Rapid Transit Corp. n
