Recently, many sharp-eyed travelers may have noticed that the new metro network maps and fare charts at some stations have been quietly updated. In preparation for the opening of the Songshan Line, various stations and trains have successively carried out the renewal of signage,The new signage will integrate the “line name,” “line number,” and “terminal station display”Three key elements to make it easier for passengers to transfer and ride.

To welcome the addition of the Songshan Line, Taipei Metro is carrying out large-scale renewal of over 15,000 signs, including those in stations and on trains. Taipei Metro’s “Three-Part Signage Strategy” is now in full swing and being implemented in phases. The first part involves updating the full network map and fare chart; the second part is replacing signage done during non-operating hours; the third part includes stations on the Wenhu Line, Zhonghe-Xinlu Line, and Banqiao-Nangang Line, which will be renewed after the Songshan Line opens.

Due to the massive scale of the renewal project, some signs located in the station’s high-ceilinged areas, near tracks, or at escalator entrances must be installed during non-operating hours. Therefore, updates to the network maps, fare charts, important transfer signage in station halls, platforms, and trains, as well as signage along the “Tamsui-Xinyi Line” and “Songshan-Xindian Line,” have already begun. To avoid confusion, updated signs will initially be hidden beneath the current displays and will be fully unveiled all at once after the last day of service before the opening.

Additionally, major transfer stations such as Songjiang Nanjing, Nanjing Fuxing, Zhongshan, Ximen, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Guting, Dongmen, Taipei Main Station, and Minquan West Road are also accelerating their renewal efforts. This includes transferring guide signs posted in prominent locations inside station halls, platforms, and on columns—all must be fully completed before the Songshan Line opens. Passengers only need to “follow the signs” to reach their destinations smoothly.

Stations along the “Tamsui-Xinyi Line” and “Songshan-Xindian Line,” such as Shilin Station, Xinyi Anhe Station, and Jingmei Station, will follow the same procedure as major transfer stations, completing all signage updates before the Songshan Line opens. Stations on the Wenhu Line, Zhonghe-Xinlu Line, and Banqiao-Nangang Line will be renewed after the Songshan Line opens. The full-system signage renewal project for Taipei Metroassigns “Wenhu Line,” “Tamsui-Xinyi Line,” “Songshan-Xindian Line,” “Zhonghe-Xinlu Line,” and “Banqiao-Nangang Line” identification numbers from 1 to 5 according to their “opening sequence”to help passengers more easily identify lines, transfer conveniently, and travel with ease.
