TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A feasibility study for a proposed Keelung-Taipei City rail link has been completed and is expected to be sent to the Executive Yuan for consideration in the new year, reported CNA.
The proposed NT$10.3 billion (US$340 million) rail link will transport commuters from Keelung City to Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center in about 30 minutes.
The plan hopes to reduce congestion, which occurs due to bottlenecks in trains connecting Taipei with Keelung City, Hualien, and Taitung.
The feasibility study commissioned by the Keelung City Government, was also internally reviewed by the local government early last month, reports suggest. [FULL STORY]
