	Taipei Rapid Transit System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Taipei Rapid Transit System (Traditional Chinese: 台北大眾捷運系統; pinyin: Táiběi Dàzhòng Jiéyùn Xìtǒng, also known as the MRT, Metro Taipei, or by locals simply as the Traditional Chinese: 台北捷運; pinyin: Táiběi Jiéyùn) is a series of underground and elevated metro and VAL systems throughout the Taipei metropolitan area.
		In 1967, the Taiwan Government researched the possibility of constructing a rapid transit network in the Taipei metropolitan area; however, the plan was shelved due to fiscal concerns and the belief that such a system was not urgently needed at the time.
		In June 2003, Bombardier was awarded a contract to supply the complete Neihu Line mass transit system, which includes manufacturing 202 cars, installing the the communications-based CITYFLO 650 moving-block ATC system to replace the current fixed-block ATC and retrofitting the existing 102 VAL 256 cars with the CITYFLO 650 ATC system.
