Trust & Proof — The Lens

Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.

The site avoids trust theatre by not displaying unverified reviews; the review_count is 0 across the data. It relies on internal proof paths such as Our Pledge for Service and MTR Performance Achievements. While these links suggest substance, the lack of external third-party proof links in the crawl prevents a perfect score in this pillar.

The proof density is high relative to the low volume of marketing claims. Functional evidence includes specific app names (MTR Mobile, MTR Care App) and specific ticket types (Tourist Day Pass). The ratio of verifiable service options to vague assertions is heavily weighted toward the services.

Trust & Proof is read by weighing trust language against real verification. Below is the page-by-page tally of review mentions and external proof links, then the schema markup that may (or may not) declare verifiable ratings and identity proof.
