Kaohsiung, April 21 (CNA) Kaohsiung, the largest city in southern Taiwan, has drafted a plan to construct a third line for its mass rapid transit (MRT) system within an eight-year period, according to Wu Yi-lung (吳義隆), director of the city’s Mass Rapid Transit Bureau.

The planned line, which will be coded as the yellow line, will help create a “seamless” mass transport network incorporating the MRT, light-rail and railway lines in the city, Wu said on Friday.

He was delivering a briefing on the project to President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), who was on a visit to inspect the port city’s transportation infrastructure.    [FULL  STORY]
