Taipei plans to import magnetically levitated (maglev) trains from Japan, the Chinese-language newspaper United Daily News said yesterday. The company in charge of building the 4.5km Xinyi District Light Rail plans to use the same maglev system used at the 2005 World Exposition in Aichi, Japan, the paper said....... http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiw.../24/2003315353

「中正國際機場聯外捷運系統建設計畫」開工了

中正國際機場聯外捷運系統於95年6月26日假桃園青埔機廠預定地舉行開工典禮，典禮將邀請行政院蘇院長及所屬各部會首長、台北縣、市及桃園縣長、民意代表觀禮。
機場捷運路線自中正國際機場二期航廈為起點，往東北經林口、新莊、三重至台北車站特定專用區，往東南經高鐵桃園車站至中壢中豐路與環北路交口，全長約51.5公里，共設置22座車站。路線行經台北市（中正區、大同區），台北縣（三重市、新莊市、泰山鄉、林口鄉）、桃園縣（龜山鄉、蘆竹鄉、大園鄉、中壢市等）三個行政區及八個市鄉鎮。

本計畫主要目的在提供中正機場進出旅客安全、快速、高水準的捷運服務，以提昇國際形象，並配合沿線既有都市發展，兼顧都會區捷運效能，帶動地方繁榮及城鄉均衡發展。路線連結台北車站、中正國際機場、高鐵桃園車站等重要交通樞紐，並可與台北捷運新莊線及台北捷運環狀線直接轉乘，未來不但國際航線與國內交通網路將可緊密結合，中南部旅客亦可經由高鐵桃園車站直接由捷運轉乘至中正機場進出國門，提供民眾更便利之交通網路服務。

本計畫已納入政府「新十大建設計畫」，工程總經費約936億元，將分別於「中央政府擴大公共建設投資計畫」特別預算及公務預算逐年編列。機電系統工程標已於95年2月27日開工；三重至中壢路段已完成土建工程基本設計，其細部設計及監造標已完成招標作業，預定於民國99年底完工。另三重至台北車站之地下化路段係由台北捷運局負責設計與施工，預計在民國101年6月完工，屆時從台北車站至中正國際機場，只需35分鐘。南部出國的旅客搭乘高速鐵路至高鐵桃園站後轉乘機場捷運至中正機場只需約10分鐘。

機場捷運之動工係交通部繼蔣渭水高速公路完工通車後另一項重要任務，在交通部嚴格督導下，高鐵局將全力以赴，積極辦理工程之設計及施工，以早日達成完工通車的目標，提供便捷的交通服務，帶動地方的繁榮。

台北捷運完成環狀系統規劃 將串連14條路線

中廣新聞/林麗玉

台北捷運工程局已經完成捷運環狀路網的規劃，目前有西環段、北環段、東環段及南環段，預計第一階段西環段在民國103年會先完工通車；至於東環段，因為串連內科、大巨蛋及信義計畫區等，運量需求大，會優先送中央審議。四條路段，除了西環段之外，其他三條的經費都需要中央財政協助。

台北捷運工程局規劃的捷運系統環狀路網，目前規劃四條路段，分別是西環段--新店大坪林站到新莊五股工業區站、北環段--新莊五股工業區站到劍南路站、東環站--劍南路到尖山腳站、南環段--新店大坪林站到動物園站，捷運工程局長常岐德表示，目前環狀系統最大的困難，在於興建經費，除了西環段之外，其他三段，都需要中央的財政支持。

第一階段西環段新店到新莊，全長15.4公里，規劃經費401億元，行政院已經承諾補助195億元，其他206億元由台北縣自籌，採聯開等方式籌款，預計民國103年完工，至於東環段，因為連結劍南路到尖山腳站，穿越台北市內科、大巨蛋、信義計畫區及公館商圈等重要發展地區，運量需求量大，預計三月會先完成走廊研究規劃，六月完成環評說明書、儘速送中央審議。而環狀系統會採中運量營運，規劃每個小時運量為2萬6千100人次，一旦環狀線完成，可以連結台北捷運放射性的路網，串連14條捷運路線，台北捷運系統才算大致完成。

I guess I can post this here, since some of them are being built near MRT stations.

Taipei's new parking towers:

I have observed that there are a lot of new parking towers being built in the past 2 years.

2006(near one of Neihu's MRT stations):


2007: (not in the same location as above)

Good! Taipei's vehicular traffic is getting more and more congested. Hope more people will lay down their cars and take the train.

1~8 It is actually Neihu's "city centre"(started booming 20 years ago)

3~8 I was suprised that Neihu Station is small, since it is located in the center of Neihu, where most ppl live.

12~16 Dahu Park area

16~18 Look at the curve... Also, that area is pretty new with some pretty nice new apartments just like Neihu's other newer districts.

I passed by Jian-Nan Station(next to Miramar) the other day. The station is huge. Too bad I didn't get a chance to take some photos.

how come there's like 3 different rail designs and materials all one 1 line? 2 different concrete designs then 1 metal rail.

metal is usually used in a tight curve. have u ever seen concrete used as the support beam in such a tight turn? who is bian tai now

well here's a curve and it's concrete. and how do you explain the two different concrete rail designs, smarty bien tai?? huh?? huh?????

[duabi]

I am not an expert, but I think that's because the section has a 90 degree turn, and it is at the intersection of 2 roads, so the rail must be longer than usual among the columns. The larger steal structure is needed to support this kind of extended portion of the rail. We can see that degsin in Muzha line's intersection sections.

The actual station structures have not been built(they will be in the middle of the road of course). Only the large steel column are inserted and the "exits" of the stations on the 2 sides of the road have been built. (ps. I heard that at least for Neihu Station, originally they just wanted to build 1 exit on 1 side, but of course local ppl complain, so a small exit is later planned to be built on the other side. Neihu Line is actually the extension of Muzha line, so if you have taken MRT on Muzha line, you will find that some of the stations only have an exit on the 1 side of the road, which is very inconvinient)


The photo that Razqal shows is when the rail is starting to climb up a slope. Not sure if that's the reason.


I said Jiannan station was huge(especially the exit). I just checked and realized that 3 lines(2 planed) will meet at the station in the future....no wonder.

This map shows approximately where the photos were taken(the location and the side of the road):
