ROFL, what technology
taipei to tsoying (at the suburbs of kaohsiung) is 345km, how can cover in 20mins?
the current 8-station line will eventually become a 12-station line, and the next station south of tsoying will be kaohsiung. in the future, the kaohsiung mass rapid transit system will also terminate at tsoying, as this station will be the transportation hub for the metropolitan area of kaohsiung.
most journeys will take 2 hours as it will stop at every stop, but 3 limited express services will be operated at around 7am, 5pm and 9pm in both directions (6 trips a day) that will only take 90 mins, stopping only at taichung station.
