Taipei Mass Rapid Transit (MRT),[3] branded as Metro Taipei,[I][4] is a rapid transit system 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]

Most trains were built by Japanese, South Korean, and German companies.[9][10][11]
