I found that some of the information about Hong Kong MTR is wrong.
i) Since the merger between MTR and KCR on 2 Dec 2007, the number of lines is 10 (including the Airport Express)

ii) MTR does have one Driverless line, the Disneyland Resort Line.

iii) The former operator of the East Rail, West Rail and Ma On Shan Lines and the Light Rail, KCRC (Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation) designed its own metro font Casey. Most of the signs are still present. The Wikipedia link for this is

Information regarding the Metro Fonts -
Casey was used by KCR only.

The signs with Casey font are being phased out and replaced with signs with Myriad (the MTR standard font) after the merger of the 2 rail systems in Hong Kong, MTR and KCR, on 2 December 2007
