Taipei Metro[I] (also known as Taipei Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)[3] and branded as Metro Taipei)[4] is a rapid transit system operated by the Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation serving the capital Taipei and New Taipei City in Taiwan.
It was the first rapid transit system to be built on the island.[5] The initial network was approved for construction in 1986 and work began two years later.[6] It began operations on March 28, 1996, and by 2000, 62 stations were in service across three main lines.[7]
Over the next nine years, the number of passengers had increased by 70%. Since 2008, the network has expanded to 131 stations and the passenger count has grown by another 96%.[citation needed] The system has been praised by locals for its effectiveness in relieving growing traffic congestion in Taipei and its surrounding satellite towns, with over eight million trips made daily.[8]
