The Most Profitable Subway on Earth

27 October 2026 at 08:00

The Most Profitable Subway on Earth — Hong Kong’s Mass Transit Railway is the most profitable transit system in the world. While subways tend to lose money everywhere else, the MTR funds its system through a real estate engine known as “land-value capture.” By directly integrating malls, offices and apartments into stations, the railway has created a self-funding loop that pays billions of dollars back to the government.

Now, the MTR is taking on a massive challenge: funding transport for the Northern Metropolis, a new tech hub aimed at better connecting Hong Kong with Mainland China. But as local real estate cools, construction costs soar and residents shift retail spending across the border to Shenzhen, the MTR is taking on record debt to fund the expansion. Will this ambitious project break the very rule that made Hong Kong’s transit a global marvel?

Can Japan’s Economy Afford Takaichi’s Big Bet? — A year after becoming Japan’s prime minister, Sanae Takaichi is pursuing an ambitious plan to build a stronger, richer and more secure country. At the center of her strategy is a target of ¥370 trillion ($2.3 trillion) in public and private investment, spanning artificial intelligence, semiconductors, defense, energy, food technology and even manga.

But as Takaichi enters her second year in power, Japan faces a formidable combination of pressures: a weak yen, rising living costs, a shrinking workforce, enormous government debt and worsening relations with China. Takaichi also wants Japan to spend more on defense as security challenges grow across Asia.

This documentary examines Takaichi’s first year as prime minister, the forces that brought her to power and the risks surrounding her agenda.
