City Life

To possess convenience, comfortable and speeding public transportation system is an emblem of  developed city. After Taipei Metro started it's operation in 1996, went though two collapses by accident, Kaohsiung MRT System had transport service in 2008 at last. But a running fire of challenges are just start.

To find out whether there is any change or not after the MRT System been built, I plan to have tow questions. The first question is what citizens in Kaohsiung used to travel by as the means of transportations? The second question is that Kaohsiung MRT System is start operating, do any change in your daily transportation? 

Answering the first question, I try to find some statistic figures in Internet. In a Mr. Wang's article mentioned that there are 41.6 percents of citizens in Taipei use public transit, in Taichung are 8 percents, but in Kaohsiung, there are only 4.3 percents is the least. Most citizens in Kaohsiung use their own cars or motorcycles.The second question, I inquired for my classmate, Cathy. She told me even though the MRT System is built, she go out with buses as well. But there is a news form The Liberty Times, mentioned that after MRT System started it's operation, population using public transit is twice than before.

So low the population is, it looks no need to build Kaohsiung MRT System. But it just the beginning, I believe there would be more people using MRT System while the city government do have a good plan toward improve transportation, make citizens feel more comfortable though traveling, public transit would turn loss into gain.
