The fleet will include five types of trains, according to a rail tourism strategy drafted by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC). The plan was submitted for legislative review on Thursday (Nov. 26), wrote CNA.
Under the strategy, the company will launch two types of train models on Jan. 1 of next year. They include the “Future” (鳴日號) railcars that bear a vibrant design of black and orange and provide high-end dining services as well as another train designed with a jaunty, blue theme to provoke nostalgia.
2022 will see the introduction of another two types of excursion trains, one running along the coasts, the other offering rides through mountainous scenery. The most luxurious travel experiences can be expected in 2024, when a fleet of newly purchased sleeping cars will provide passengers with overnight accommodation. [FULL STORY]
