Marubeni in Taiwan airport rail deal
A Japanese consortium led by Marubeni Corp. signed a contract Thursday in Taiwan to build a railway system linking its capital and Chiang Kai-shek International Airport, the trading house said. The contract, sealed with Taiwan's Bureau of High Speed Rail, is worth about 91 billion yen, Marubeni said, adding it will be the first direct-link airport railway system to be constructed by Japanese companies in Asia outside Japan. The trading house, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. and Hitachi Ltd. will build a 51.5-km route connecting central Taipei and Chungli through the airport. The route is scheduled to be completed in September 2013. Marubeni said it will be responsible for overall management of the project and construction of railway facilities, including signals, communication systems and rail yards. Kawasaki Heavy will provide 123 train cars, while Hitachi will be in charge of setting up power supply facilities. |
Thanks for sharing!~

I wish they could build the 天母 (Tian Mu) line right now as well as the red line extension all the way to Taipei 101, it will make commuting to inner Taipei much easier and faster.
Some of the station designs could be better. Personally I prefer the oriental flavour of red line stations from 園山 (Yuan Shan) to 淡水 (Dan Shui), since they tend to age much better with its traditional designs. btw, Is there any color renderings of the upcoming Taipei Gate twin buildings? All the pics seems to be shots of the building models in white. Thanks for sharing once again. -G'day- |

Well, atleast the red line extension is under construction now, it will save up to 10-15 minutes transferring to the blue line if I wanted to go to areas around Taipei 101 in the near future. Once the 天母 line is done (if ever), that will probably save another 15 minutes due to cut down on bus transfer. -G'day- |

Now Delhi Metro wants world green signal
Plans to become member of top world ranking project. Anubhuti Vishnoi New Delhi, February 23: IT’s already changed the way Delhi travels. And now, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is hoping the world will take note. The DMRC is planning to become a member of the Nova International Railway Benchmarking Group, a project that compares urban transport systems of various cities across the world. Senior DMRC officials have visited Taipei a number of times during the last month to study its Metro operations—the Taipei Metro was ranked number one by Nova in 2004-05. “DMRC is trying to explore its chances of becoming a member of Nova — a benchmarking consortium of Metro networks in various countries,” Director, Projects and Planning, DMRC, C B K Rao said. He added that the DMRC was studying the Taipei Metro’s “construction methodology, operations and maintenance. We will also be assessing where we fall short...” Rao said. “Our basic focus... is their Operation Control Centre, tunneling, construction site and maintenance. While Delhi Metro can boast of the best of technology and construction behaviour, Taipei Metro’s maintenance and operation control is definitely better. They also have a very good visitors’ gallery... officials from our Operations Department are currently in Taipei to study these. We will also try to incorporate some of these features in our Operation Control Centre at Barakhamba Metro Station,” Rao said. He added that Taipei Metro scored well above the Delhi Metro in cleanliness. “There are very strict rules at the Taipei Metro and public behaviour is very responsible towards the Metro unlike in Delhi as yet. To be able to maintain our stations that way, we need a high degree of public awareness and co-operation,” Rao said. THE NOVA MARK Headquartered in London, Nova is a benchmarking group formed in 1998 for medium-sized Metros comprising 13 Metro systems with less than half a billion passengers a year: Buenos Aires, Dublin, Glasgow, KCR (Hong Kong), Lisbon, Montreal, Naples, Newcastle, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, Singapore, Taipei and Toronto. Nova has three types of Key Performance Indicators: Operations: 32 operational performance indicators, includes asset utilisation, efficiency, reliability, service quality, finance and safety Customers: Customer satisfaction survey every two years City: Indicators being developed to study relationship between Metros and the cities in which they are located Nova: http://www.nova-metros.org/ |
