The Keelung MRT is a medium-volume rapid transit system planned in the Taipei metropolitan area of Taiwan.
[1] The environmental impact assessment was approved on April 12, 2023, and 13 stations will be built along the line.
In early 2006, the Keelung City Government commissioned Zhongxing Engineering Consulting Company to conduct a "Feasibility Study on the Keelung Light Rail Transportation System" and submitted a final report.
In order to deal with the tourist crowds brought about by the opening of the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology in Badouzi, the east line passing through the east coast of Keelung Port was the top priority for construction.
The original estimated construction schedule was to obtain subsidy funds from the Ministry of Transportation for detailed planning in 2006, and submit to the Executive Yuan for approval in 2007 before proceeding with contracting and basic design.
