Schindler Hydraulic Elevator - Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong, HK

A lone hydraulic elevator which only serves the underground floors of the mall as well as providing access down to the Kowloon Tong MTR station, which is why this elevator is constantly used by commuters. Interesting that there are two "MTR" floors here, the latter with the MTR logo is the station's ticket concourse level; the logo is even depicted by the floor indicator to make it more realistic which is quite unique. Not sure what's on the MTR floor, but I'm assuming it's probably the bottom most retail floor of the mall.
Once again, the iconic M-Series touch buttons are used here. Not only that but there is also an extra button panel on the side wall for wheelchair user. The blank button was supposed to be a "CLEAR" button which, according to user bearchoirfan (refer to his video link below), was meant for canceling a selected floor but it no longer work. I guess it has been permanently disabled since it was kind of useless.
