/info/en/?search=Taipei_Metro#/map/0 This image shows a line between Taipei zoo and Neihu, but that line does not exist and, as far as I know, it is not even planned. GmoK -- 114.37.226.152 ( talk) 03:40, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
Are there single-use tickets, or is only the EasyCard supported? Where can one purchase such a card? Can value be added to them, and if so how? Are there cards valid for unlimited travel for a certain time period? I assume to use the system, one inserts the card when entering the system, enters the same card upon exit, and the amount is automatically deducted? How can one tell how much is left on the card? Any other hints from locals on using the system? Thanks!
I can understand pinyin as a pronunciation key, but these stations have official names that are not in pinyin. Even a casual reader will notice that if they click the image on the page. What is the use of providing English names of the stations, lines etc. that are not real?— Wing 12:50, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
On the Chinese version of this article, they use a table to represent all the routes on the Taipei MRT. I think it'd be nice to incorporate that table in this article. But some changes need to be made. Should there be more information such as number of stations? The fare of each route? Should Chinese characters be included or excluded? etc. I find the colors very nice as a visual guide for all the routes on the Taipei MRT. Feel free to edit the table below so that it's more complete or make changes. — Nrtm81 16:57, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

The current version of the article states: "When final construction is complete, each platform will serve only one line. However, in the meantime, some stations serve trains on 2 or more lines." I think this is misleading or only works if "platform" refers to only one side of the actual - well - platform. If "platform" refers to both sides, it would be wrong because a) the color bands above not-yet-in-service platforms in Guting and Ximen stations suggest different and b) it makes much more sense to have trains of different lines instead of opposite directions of the same line on the same platform at line crossings (same as in Hong Kong MTR). While underground construction is much more difficult for this design, it comes in handy once it's done. I think the sophisticated tunnel system under construction near CKS memorial hall serves this purpose for the future red Xinyi and orange Xinzhuang lines at Dongmen MRT station. 61.59.45.186 ( talk) 10:10, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I feel like the current station Infobox doesn't quite do as good of a job as if one were tailor-made for the TRTS system (and the Taiwan rail system). I've been working on a separate one that would give a feel more similar to Japan or South Korea's rail infoboxes. Below are the link to the template and an example using the template. Any comments or feedback are greatly appreciated.

Is the Nangang Eastern Extention to Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Station complete yet? -- Highspeedrailguy ( talk) 16:28, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Taipei Metro's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

There is something that is not as clear as it could be in either this article or the subsidiary articles about individual lines. When it says "connect through to each other" does this mean (a) these lines both have platforms in the same station and you can change trains there or (b) the trains from both lines run on one another's tracks? Take the Tamsui Line and the Xindian Line as en example. If I wanted to go from Tamsui to Xindian, then is it (a) I must change at CKS Memorial Hall or (b) I can get on either a Red or Green train at Tamsui and stay on it to Xindian? It appears that the Tamsui Line connects in sense (a) with several lines (e.g. also Tucheng at Taipei Main Station) so I am puzzled as to why the connectivity with Xindian is highlighted in the article. Could someone with knowledge of Taipei please clarify? Matt's talk 09:39, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
Currently, the infobox of this article states that there are "11 lines" in the Tapei Metro system, and it operates like the New York City Subway with those "11 lines" operating on 5 basic routes. Now, when I looked at the official website (e.g. Metro Service) today, I saw no evidence of 11 service lines, and it looked to me like there are now just 5 basic operating "lines".
Can anyone confirm if there are still "11 lines"? Or has operation of the subway been simplified to just 5 basic lines in more recent times? Thanks in advance. -- IJBall ( contribs • talk) 04:39, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
The map shown in the Future expansion section is hard to read due to the use of low contrast to indicate future lines. It would be better to use full contrast and dotted lines to indicate future service. Please see the map under Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)#Network for an example where this is used. Thisisnotatest ( talk) 22:09, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
The usage of acronyms like "MRT" or "TRTS" is very 'uneven'. "Taipei Metro" is used in full most often, which seem odd, and suggests possible search engine optimization (SEO). As "Taipei Rapid Transit System" (TRTS)? is the 'formal' name perhaps the "TRTS" acronym should be used throughout? 220 of Borg 09:03, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
The animation "Evolution of the Taipei Metro, 1987-2015" is not correct. It shows the Xinyi Line being finished in 2012, the Songshan Line being finished in 2013, and the Circular Line being finished in 2015. Gulumeemee ( talk) 05:20, 11 April 2016 (UTC)Gulumeemee
I think Taipei Metro has now completely stopped using numbers and switched over to colors and full names. Can we change the line names now? Szqecs ( talk) 10:06, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
