Text / Compiled and Reported by the Editorial Department of MOOK Scenic Spots Travel Life Network

Taipei MRT’s Songshan Line officially opened on the 15th, marking the official split of the Xindian Line and Tamsui Line, changing the commuting lives of many Taipei residents. Although the Taipei MRT launched a one-month free trial ride promotion for the Songshan Line and assigned station numbers to make riding more convenient, many passengers still find the newly updated MRT network map complex.

Online, a Japanese railway enthusiast has enthusiastically redrawn the latest version of the Taipei MRT network map, replacing the large boxes that indicated route intersections with a layout resembling the Japanese MRT system and increasing font sizes. Many netizens have praised this version for being clearer. Regardless of which version is better designed, the Taipei MRT says any version that provides accurate and practical information is acceptable.

Passengers can freely choose their favorite version of the MRT map and take advantage of promotions and activities offered by over a hundred shops in the commercial districts and night markets near the eight stations along the Songshan Line during its opening period.Among them, Songshan Station sees promotions from CITYLINK and Raohe Night Market as follows:
