New Taipei City's Sanying Line, an automated medium-capacity metro system, has successfully completed its final inspection, paving the way for its eventual opening. However, the project faces a list of necessary improvements before passenger service can commence.
The inspection, conducted by the Ministry of Transportation, identified a total of 15 items that require rectification. Among these, four critical issues must be resolved before the line can begin operations. One of these concerns relates to the testing of switches at Dingpu Station (LB01), which were found to affect passenger movement and flow.
The Sanying Line, a significant infrastructure project for the region, aims to enhance public transportation connectivity. The completion of the inspection marks a crucial step, but the focus now shifts to efficiently addressing the identified issues to ensure the line's safe and smooth operation for the public.
