The four routes of light rail construction in New Taipei City have been promoted one after another.

(Taiwan Business Daily News) the New Taipei City government held the "New Taipei City Light Rail Construction Forum" on the 24th. Vice Mayor Chen Shenxian said that the light rail route is an important part of the construction of the New Taipei City MRT. In the future, there are light rail plans such as Tanhai, Ankeng, Wugu and Bali. Among them, the 13.99 km Tanhai light rail was approved by the Central Committee in February 102, and relevant operations will be started in New Taipei City immediately, and construction will start one after another in August. Ankeng Light Rail is undergoing comprehensive planning, which can be submitted to the Central Committee for deliberation and approval in the near future. The feasibility study of Wugu Taishan Light Rail was reviewed by the Central Committee of the Daily on April 22, and will continue to promote the feasibility study of Bali Light Rail. Look forward to the early completion of the construction of the light rail network to implement the vision of low-carbon and sustainable urban development.

Zhao Shaolian, director of the New Taipei City Transportation Bureau, said that considering that there are four heavy and medium rapid transit systems in operation or under construction in the Taipei metropolitan area, if the core mechanical and electrical systems of the future light rail lines are not integrated and independent, it will form a situation of separate operation, maintenance and management of light rail lines, which is bound to increase the trouble and cost pressure on the operation and maintenance of light rail lines.

Therefore, based on the overall road network planning and a single core electromechanical system, the procurement economic scale of the core electromechanical system of light rail will be expanded to simplify the electromechanical system, so as to reduce the cost of equipment construction, operation and maintenance, and promote the common scheme of motor factory. reduce the use area of the factory and the cost of land acquisition, and reduce public grievances.
