Kaohsiung MRT has launched an adorable SNOOPY painted train, which started running today. The legendary American cartoonist who created SNOOPY and the Peanuts comics, Charles Schulz, saw SNOOPY featured in over 2,600 newspapers across 75 countries since 1950. It is the most well-known and popular newspaper comic strip in the world, capturing the hearts of at least 350 million readers globally over the past 65 years. To bring more surprises to the public, Kaohsiung MRT Company has, for the first time, arranged one themed painted train each on the Red and Orange Lines. The Red Line special train showcases SNOOPY and its friends, while the Orange Line special train features images of SNOOPY and its companions participating in various sports from the comics. Both painted trains will run until August 31, in conjunction with the “Walking into Peanuts – SNOOPY 65th Anniversary Touring Exhibition” at Pier-2 Art Center in Kaohsiung during this summer vacation.
