目前台湾特大城市加大了对轨道交通的投资,以便应对快速变化的出行方式和不断恶化的公路交通堵塞。台北作为台湾最大的城市,制定的目标是在2014年将其地铁规模扩大一倍,2021年规模再扩大近一倍。在台湾岛南端的高雄已经完成了两条地铁线的建设,并正计划建设一条轻轨线,与此同时,台中也计划建设它的第一条地铁线。 At present, mega-cities in Taiwan have increased their investment in rail transit in order to cope with the rapidly changing modes of travel and deteriorating road traffic jams. As the largest city in Taiwan, Taipei aims to double its size in 2014 and nearly double that of 2021 by 2021. Kaohsiung, which is at the southern tip of Taiwan Island, has completed the construction of two metro lines and is planning to build a light rail line. At the same time, Taichung also plans to build its first subway line.
