Hi JIm,
Hong Kong has double decker rail trams, (since 1904) and also London  
style double decker buses - all privately owned and profitable.
For a history of Hong Kong trams please see:

The new French owners are planning to upgrade service - which I am  
vehemently opposed to - because the new cars have fixed front windows  
and you can't open them to take pictures!!

Cheers
Howard
