Summary[edit]

Description The Taipei RTS is one of the largest and most expensive rapid transit systems ever constructed. Since its completion, the TRTS has reduced travel time from one end of Taipei to the other from up to three or more hours to less then an hour, and has been effective in relieving some of Taipei's traffic congestion problems. In addition to the rapid transit system itself, the TRTS also includes several public facilities such as underground shopping malls, parks, public squares, attractions and scenic spots. As a result, visitors can take a leisurely journey through most of the attractive parts of Taipei by using the MRT service. The TRTS was the center of political controversy during its construction and shortly after the opening of its first line in 1996 due to incidents such as computer malfunction during a thunderstorm, alleged structural problems in some elevated segments, budget overruns, and ticket prices. However by the time the most recent line was completed in 2000, it was generally agreed that the project was a success [nationmaster.com]
