Taipei MRT's Routes Map by DrJason
It's very convenience, comfortable and safe to travel by MRT around Taipei. The MRT system is very well established and maitained. Also, announcement is made in several languages such as English, Japanese, Mandrine, etc.I'd highly recommended to those who have very limited time in Taipei (1~2 days) to travel with MRT.
The MRT will takes you to the major highlights in Taipei. Eg: Shilin Night Market, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, The 101 Taipei Building, Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf , & etc.
It's rather cheap to travel too. Minimum of 1 stop only cost NT20/-. (http://home.trtc.com.tw/EINFO/eticketprice.asp)
