Project Background

Dali, Wufeng, and Taiping districts have observed rapid population and industrial growth in recent years and have increasing transportation demand. Dapingwu MRT is an important transportation construction for suburban Taichung, in which the route will connect major corridors of the region. This will not only promote the development of tourism and the economy, but would also meet commuting demands and bring about a more balanced development for the Greater Taichung Region. Dapingwu MRT is currently carrying out its feasibility study.
