Several future projects on the MTR have been put forward by the MTR Corporation to the Hong Kong Government. Some of these are still in planning stage, some are now completed. With the rail merger with the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation in 2007, the combined network increased to 211.6 kilometres (131.5 mi) and 84 stations. Committed and future railway projects have increased the network to over 270 kilometres (170 mi) and 98 stations today while the rest of the projects may further increase it to over 540 kilometres (340 mi).
