The claiming of Tin Fa Yuen island by its first settlers exposed them to a virgin landscape much like the protected country parks in the highlands of old Hong Kong - an environment completely unlike the hyperdense urbanism Earthlings had long come to associate with the city-state. Despite the pleas of the colony's self-proclaimed leaders, only about half of Tin Fa Yuen's original population would settle in San Mong Kok; the other half, many setting food on Osiris holding dreams painted by the brushes of high-minded ideals or personal cliques, dispersed into a score of villages that mushroomed across the entirety of the island. While the application of technology meant that almost all Yuensiders would still live reasonably comfortable lives, they quickly realised how alienating and unintentionally problematic remote village life truly was.
The transition in living conditions from towering housing estates to humble detached homes aside, perhaps the most pressing issue was the difficulty in transportation. Roads did not exist here save for the central streets of San Mong Kok and some larger villages or the haphazard ones connecting some closely neighbouring settlements. Plus, Tin Fa Yuen's populace was spread out over a land area orders of magnitude larger than old Hong Kong. Even with modern communications, a lack of proper transportation would doom the new villages to effective self-sufficiency in terms of material goods, which, despite the closed-minded ideals of those who wished to build their own personal Paradise, simply would not do for a gathering of displaced urbanites.
This problem came to the mind of many Yuensiders, including one Tse On-kay, the reluctant youngest of the eighteen members of the First Legislative Yuan, elected by Tin Fa Yuen's constituents from Tsuen Wan (one member was elected to the First Legislative Yuan by the constituents of each of Hong Kong's 18 districts). Drawing from both her recently acquired civil engineering degree and her childhood fascination with one of old Hong Kong's crucial backbones, the Mass Transit Railway, Tse divined a plan: as she called it when she introduced it to the Legislative Yuan, "a new MTR, for a new world."
Tse faced opposition from those Yuensiders who claimed simply building roads would take less time and significantly less resources. Tse rebutted that a rail system would be orders of magnitude faster and more efficient than an armada of lorries or private transport could ever hope to accomplish. The low populations involved meant that the trains would - at first - run effectively as glorified long-distance trams, keeping maintenance down. Tse also promised that a rail system would ease travel and the already existent divides between, for example, the largely Mandarin-speaking-settled southeast coast, the largely Cantonese-speaking-settled north coast, and the largely Filipino and Indonesian southwest. Most importantly, Tse cited some friends with scientific knowledge to show that a rail system would be the most environmentally friendly option (save for returning to a pre-Agricultural Revolution way of life, as some Yuensiders actually seriously considered).
That latter point, plus Tse's quite outspoken nostalgia for the MTR, was enough to sway enough public backing in the capital for the Legislative Yuan to approve the proposal, 15 votes for and only 2 against, with 1 abstention.
This was the first phase of Tse's plan for what would become known as TFYrail or increasingly, the translation of its Chinese name, GardenRail (Yuen Tiet, 園鐵
