Kaohsiung MRT<br />

Orange Line<br />

In December 2003 <strong>the</strong> City of Kaohsiung decided to make <strong>the</strong><br />

public more aware of <strong>the</strong> <strong>new</strong> transport scheme and launched<br />

a very successful three-month trial presenting a LRT system in<br />

a daily operation. A Siemens <strong>Combino</strong> train was provided and a<br />

450 meter track was built in Kaohsiung's Central Park. The<br />

general public was able to enjoy free rides on <strong>the</strong> LRT system<br />

and experience <strong>the</strong> very first runs of a real <strong>low</strong> <strong>floor</strong> light rail<br />

system in Taiwan. The LRT system received a very high acceptance<br />

from <strong>the</strong> general public and convinced everybody with<br />

its comfort, safety and quality.<br />
