 The Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR; Traditional Chinese: 九廣鐵路; pinyin: Jiú-Guáng Tiělù) is a railway network in Hong Kong, China, comprising intercity rapid transit and light rail systems. The first section of the network opened in 1910, and trains were steam-hauled. The network has expanded to, as of today, 4 systems, 32 railway stations and 68 light rail stations. The Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC), which is fully owned by the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, is responsible for the network's operations.

Before rebranding, "Kowloon-Canton Railway" referred to the railway that runs north and south between Kowloon in Hong Kong and the city of Canton (now Guangzhou) in Mainland China. When Hong Kong was under British rule, the section of this railway that lies within the territory of British Hong Kong was known as the "British Section" of the railway, which largely corresponded to the present-day KCR East Rail.

Trains for local service on the British Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway were originally steam powered, but diesel trains were gradually introduced during the 1950s, and by 1962 they had fully replaced all steam trains. In 1973, a modernisation programme was begun, which included double tracking and electrifying the railway. The first stage of electrification was completed with the start of an inner suburban service between Kowloon station and Sha Tin station on 6 May 1982. One year later, on 15 July 1983 the final section of the railway to Lo Wu was completed and opened by the then Governor, Sir Edward Youde. Diesel locomotives were replaced by electric multiple units.

KCR Light Rail -
The KCR Light Rail is one of the four systems of the KCR network in Hong Kong. It serves the northwestern New Territories within and between the new towns of Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, and Tin Shui Wai. It runs on 1435 mm track gauge (standard gauge), with direct current 750 V. When Tuen Mun was developed in the 1970s, the government had set aside space for laying rail tracks. In 1983, the KCRC decided to build the system. After some research, construction commenced in 1985. The system was completed and fully operational on 25 September 1988. It consists of two big and three small loops serving most public housing estates in northern Tuen Mun and three branches: One to the On Ting Estate in the southeast, one to the Tuen Mun ferry pier in the southwest; another northern branch all the way into the town of Yuen Long, which is along Castle Peak Road, and a loop in Tin Shui Wai.

The patronage of West Rail is not very high. Critics have said that the stations are located too far away from the main residential areas, and a trip on the Light Rail is often needed to connect to the West Rail. Fares are high and the journey time is not too different from travelling by bus. Various problems on the new line, which led to service suspensions in the first few months of service, failed to ensure passenger confidence in its service. Since then, the KCR has launched campaigns to promote ridership, including reduced fares, a monthly pass and an interchange discount with buses and minibuses. Passenger numbers are now rising steadily.

Fares and tickets
 The octopus card is a very popular form of payment among travellers on the KCR network. Currently, there are two different fare classes on the KCR: Adult and Concessionary. Only children between the ages of 3 and 12, and senior citizens 65 years or over qualify for the concessionary rate. Unlike the MTR, the KCR does not provide a concessionary fare for students, although there is a student discount system available for students who live in Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai.

The fare range for each line is as follows (as of 2005): 2005 is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
The fare for first-class service on the East Rail is double that of normal fares. Fares to Lo Wu are substantially higher than fares to the station just before, Sheung Shui (about $11 from East TST) because of a tariff imposed on those travelling across the border to mainland China. There are quirks in the fare system, however. For example, when using an Octopus card for a trip from any station in Kowloon to Lo Wu, it is less expensive to exit the station at Fanling or Sheung Shui and re-enter the station instead of staying aboard the train the whole way to Lo Wu, as you would be charged for the majority length of the trip without the tariff to the mainland and only be charged the tariff for the relatively short distance between Fanling or Sheung Shui and Lo Wu, resulting in a $4.0 savings in either direction.

There are two payment methods:
- Octopus card
- Single Journey Ticket
Octopus card -
In 1998, the MTR and KCR started using the Octopus Access Control System as the main payment method for travel on its network, replacing the Common Stored Value Tickets. Octopus cards are rechargeable, contactless smart cards, thus money is digitally stored in the card, and the amount can be automatically calculated and deducted by Octopus card readers. The system was originally proposed and introduced by the MTR. It has been extended to different services such as minibuses, franchised buses such as the Kowloon Motor Bus and Citybus, supermarkets, and fast food restaurants. It has the potential to be further developed in other fields of services. The older, traditional magnetic ticketing system is also still in use for single journeys.
