Danhai light rail
The Danhai light rail (traditional Chinese: 淡海輕軌; simplified Chinese: 淡海轻轨; pinyin: Dànhǎi Qīngguǐ, also known as Tamhai light rail) is a light rail transit (LRT) line in Tamsui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan, operated by New Taipei Metro. It opened on 23 December 2018 and began service the following day.
The system is built to provide public transportation to Danhai New Town, whose population is expected to reach 340,000 by 2041.
The initial feasibility study for a heavy-capacity extension line of the Taipei Metro was completed in 1992. Further planning reports were completed in 1998 and 1999. At that time the project was put on hold due to budgetary considerations. In 2005, planning shifted from a metro system to a light rail system. A light rail feasibility study was completed in 2007, with a review of funding and operation throughout 2008. The study was completed and presented for approval to the Executive Yuan in 2010.
The light rail two-stage construction plan by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications was approved by Council for Economic Planning and Development on 7 January 2013. The first phase of the construction began in September 2014.
The system is projected to carry 120,000 passengers per day.
The system currently consists of 14 stations, with 6 additional stations planned.. Tracks are at ground level and elevated. The total length will be 13.99 kilometres (8.69 mi).
The Hongshulin–Kanding section opened in December 2018. Trains run from Hongshulin Station northward and turn west along Zhongzheng East Road, Highway No. 2, Binhai Road and Shalun Road. Seven of its eleven stations are elevated, with the remaining four at ground level. The bike sharing service YouBike is available at seven stations.
A two-kilometre (1.2 mi) branch with three stations opened in November 2020. The branch runs from Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf, turns eastward to join the Kanding branch, with which it shares 1.21 kilometres (0.75 mi) and three stops. The line follows Highway No. 2B, Binhai Road, and Shalun Road. All nine stations will be at ground level.
