For the year, the sound economy and our ability to leverage this through our proven “Rail and Property” model combined to increase our total revenue to HK$9,51 million, .2% higher than 2005, leading to an increase of 2.0% in operating profit before property development profit and depreciation. However, underlying profit, excluding revaluation gain on investment properties, decreased marginally by 2.9% to HK$5,962 million due to very strong property development profit recognised in 2005, the magnitude of which was not repeated in 2006. Including investment property revaluation, our net profit attributable to equity shareholders was HK$7,759 million and earnings per share were HK$1.1. Your Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of HK$0.28, the same as in 2005. “We and our counterparts at KCRC For the year, three issues stand out which I would like to discuss: the proposed merger, our growth strategy and our continuing have been working together to efforts towards ensuring sustainable growth. ensure as smooth an integration as Proposed merger possible on Day One of the merger. The proposed merger of MTR Corporation and Kowloon-Canton The merger is expected to yield Railway Corporation (KCRC) has moved closer following the signing by the Company in April of a Memorandum of synergies, while the travelling Understanding (MOU) with the Government of the Hong Kong public will experience benefits” SAR (Government) setting out the terms of the merger of the rail operations, together with the acquisition of a property package. The Rail Merger Bill was submitted to the Legislative Council (LegCo) in July, shortly followed by the first meeting of the LegCo Bills Committee on the bill. Should LegCo pass the bill, independent shareholders will then be invited to vote on the merger. In the meantime, we and our counterparts at KCRC have been working together to ensure as smooth an integration as possible on Day One of the merger. The merger is expected to yield synergies, while the travelling public will experience benefits including lower fares and improved integration of the networks. To achieve these goals, we recognise the need to take account of the needs of staff and of the two different corporate cultures, and have worked assiduously not only to put in place the right structures, but to keep staff informed of progress throughout. Growth strategy Our efforts in sustainability have garnered increasing recognition 5 ANNUAL REPORT 2006 The merger clearly forms a part of our strategy for growth, which internationally and during the year, we were ranked seventh covers both Hong Kong and overseas markets, where we will amongst the 100 global corporate leaders in sustainability not only leverage the assets and skills we have, but invest in reporting in a Global Reporters 2006 survey undertaken by further expansion.

  • Arrangements for the Opening of Hong Kong Disneyland & Penny's
    LC Paper No. CB(1)1855/04-05(04) For discussion on 27 June 2005 Legislative Council Panel on Economic Services Arrangements for the Opening of Hong Kong Disneyland & Penny’s Bay Purpose This paper briefs members on the framework of the arrangements for the opening of the Hong Kong Disneyland (HKD) and associated facilities at Penny's Bay. Background 2. The Government started discussions with the Hongkong International Theme Park Limited (HKITP) in late 2004 arrangements for the opening of HKD and associated facilities in Penny’s Bay. All parties involved agreed to a phased operation approach. The idea is to give the theme park, public transport operators and relevant departments a familiarisation period to adjust their operation before the Grand Opening on 12 September, 2005. 3. The framework of measures outlined in this paper is the result of joint efforts by the Tourism Commission (TC), Environment, Transport and Works Bureau, Transport Department (TD), Hong Kong Police Force, Civil Engineering and Development Department, HKITP, MTR Corporation Limited (MTRC) and other relevant departments. Operation Phases 4. There are three key phases in the operation sequence- (a) From early August 2005 – Disneyland Resort Line (DRL) is scheduled to run between Sunny Bay Station and Disneyland Resort Station (DRS). A section of the Park Promenade, linked to the DRS will be open to public; (b) 16 August 2005 – Operation of all public facilities at Penny’s Bay. Franchised bus and taxi will commence service. This period covers the Rehearsal Days of the theme park and hotels, which will be open to invited guests only.

  • Chapter 5: Getting Around Hong Kong
    Chapter 5: Getting Around Hong Kong The Road Crossing Code It is safer to cross the road using footbridges, subways, “Zebra” crossings or “Green man” crossings. If you cannot find any such crossing facilities nearby, there are some basic steps for crossing roads that you need to observe: 1. Find a safe place where you can see clearly along the roads in all directions for any approaching traffic. 2. When checking traffic, stop a little way back from the kerb where you will be away from traffic. 3. Look all around for traffic and listen. However, electric/hybrid vehicles including motorcycles may operate very quietly. You need to look out for them in addition to listening. If traffic is coming, let it pass. Look all around and listen again. 4. Let the drivers know your intention to cross but do not expect a driver to slow down for you. 5. Do not cross unless you are certain there is plenty of time. Walk straight across the road when there is no traffic near. 6. Keep looking and listening for vehicles that come into sight or come near while you cross. 7. Do not carry out any other activities, such as eating, drinking, playing mobile games,using mobile phones, listening to any audio device or talking while crossing the road. Give all your attention to the traffic. Using crossing facilities Crossing aids are often provided to help you cross busy roads. Footbridges and subways: Footbridges, subways and elevated walkways are the safest places to cross busy roads as they keep pedestrians well away from the dangers of traffic.

The new ISO 9001 : 2000 certificates were issued to KMB in January 2003. Through effective development and implementation of KMB’s Total Quality Management System that fulfils ISO 9001 : 2000 requirements, we will continuously assess and improve the efficiency, reliability and user-friendliness of our public bus service to meet and, where possible, exceed the needs and expectations of our customers. Performance Pledge The Performance Pledge on mechanical reliability and operational capability, the two core competencies in bus operations, reflects our commitment to providing passengers with high quality and reliable services. Mechanical reliability is defined as the average number of trips operated by a bus before it experiences one mechanical breakdown on the road with passengers on board. Operational capability is the ratio of actual to scheduled departures in the peak direction, during the peak hours of 7:00 am to 9:00 am, across the overall bus network. According to the Performance Pledge Report 2001/2002 (for the 12 month period ended 30 June 2002), KMB achieved 2,658 : 1 on mechanical reliability and 100.31% on operational capability, outperforming our targets of 1,800 : 1 and 100% respectively.
