Problems with Neihu s New MRT Line
The new Neihu MRT line stretches from Nangang to Muzha, and
connects to the twelve-year-old Muzha line.
Test runs began on Monday,
June 29 and lasted until Wednesday, July 1.
Free tickets were given out
to encourage up to 130,000 people to ride the new MRT line.
More than
21,000 people participated on the first day of trial runs.
Many people
praised the new MRT line, while others complained that the train cars
are too narrow.
Minor problems during the test runs caused trains to stop
twice for about one minute.
However, several days after the test runs,
more serious problems occurred.
On Friday, July 10, a failure in the power
supply system caused three trains carrying 700 passengers to become
stranded between stations.
In total, twenty-one trains and more than 9,000
passengers were affected by the faulty electrical circuit.
Repairs will be
made, and the Neihu system is expected to be 99% reliable by November
