The Corporation is studying to accept credit cards at:

In MTR lines except Light Rail, Airport Express and High Speed Rail	In all railway lines
~ 1,000 MTR entry/exit gates (as an initial phase and further roll-out is subject to review) and other equipment ~ 540 ticket issuing machines ~ 500 portable checking devices	Ticket counters/Customer service centre

...

The tentative rollout date for the aforementioned services is 2022/2023, in line with the Corporation’s asset replacement project.

總括黎講係提供結算平台同設備, 情況同引入QR code payment 嗰時類似
比較翻唔同嘅資料可以預計:

• 全線售票機(~420 部新機 + ~100 部升級機) 會接受信用卡支付
• 初期大約44.6% 嘅閘機(~1500 部新機 + ~500 部更新機 + ~240 部升級機 之中 ~1000 部) 會接受信用卡出入閘
  

其實係咁，仲咩唔一口氣同 QR Payment 果陣做晒佢？
