※ In addition, Taipei Metro’s Songshan Line will officially open on the 15th. The long-standing 15-year “Tamsui–Xindian” through service will be discontinued. Taipei Metro has announced thatat midnight on the 15th, the final direct trains from Tamsui and Xindian will depart, with “Last Train” signage displayed on the front of the trains for passengers to take photos as souvenirs.

After the Songshan Line opens on the 15th, it will operate under the “Songshan–Xindian” model, meaning the Tamsui Line will no longer connect to the Xindian Line. This has left many commuters quite unaccustomed. Since the full opening of the Xindian Line in 1999 until November 11 of this year, exactly 15 years have passed, during which the route carried approximately 3 billion passengers. Taipei Metro expressed special gratitude to passengers for their long-term support.
