The subway system in Taipei is known as the Metro and there are 4 main routes around the Taipei area which is clearly marked by colors of BLUE, RED, BROWN and GREEN. It covers the main visitors district (and is pretty easy to get around as well) but do remember that once you are out of the train lines - there are no distinctive routes to show you where you are - and signboard indicators to the next train station is limited so mark your area and remember how to get back to your station.

In quite a short time, Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan, is developping a network of 4 conventional mainly underground metro lines and 1 automated elevated light rail metro line to relieve the city from traffic congestion. Although previously shown as separate lines, the red, green and orange lines are now operated jointly. Green labelled trains from Tamshui run through to Hsintien, and orange labelled trains from Peitou run trough to Nanshih Chiao. The section between Peitou and Hsin Peitou is now operated as a branch by single EMU's from 7:00 to 21:00 because of noise problems. In the early mornings and in the evenings service is provided by a free shuttle bus. In 2000, different routes were also assigned numbers to improve orientation. Tamshui Line - 23 km - 20 stations, partly underground, following former railway route (now northern branch of Line 1 and Line 2) Hsintien Line - 10.5 km - 11 stations, underground, along Roosevelt and Peishin Roads (now Line 1 south). Hsimen - C.K.S. Memorial Hall opened 31 Aug. 2000 (Line 6 now operating as a shuttle with one intermediate station, Hsiao Nanmen). Chungho Line - 5.5 km - 4 stations, all underground, along Chungho and Yungho road, under the Hsintien River (now Line 2 south). Blue Line (Pannan Line or Nankang-Panchiao-Tucheng Line) - 28 km- 24 stations, underground, along Chunghua and Chunghsiao Roads, Hoping West Rd. and Wenhua Rd., cross the river Hsintien in a tunnel (now Line 3). Mucha Line - 11 km - 12 stations, elevated, rubber tyred, fully automated VAL type line, stations have side platforms and screen doors. 7, Lane 48, Sec.2, Chung-Shan N.

The Taipei subway system consists of 6 lines that cover a good portion of the city. The longest line is 23 km end-to-end. The two main lines (Blue and Green Lines) are the longest; they basically form a giant "+" covering the city. Taipei's subway is clean, modern, convenient, and inexpensive (TW$20-60 for a one-way ticket). Much of Taipei's central downtown area is near the intersection of the Blue and Green lines, while the Sun Yat Sen Memorial is several stops out the east/west line.
