SYSTRA has reached a major milestone on its project with the Taoyuan Metro’s Brown Line, in which we have been involved since 2019.

Having successfully assisted the client Taoyuan Metro Corporation in selecting the system and completing the basic design, our teams in Taiwan are now progressing to the construction phase, focusing on the core system and Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety (RAMS).

A new phase and a new project partner

This new project phase will be carried out in collaboration with engineering consultants TY Lin Taiwan, the first time that we are working with this company as part of the Project Management & Supervision Team.

SYSTRA has been present on the Taiwanese market since the 1980s and has contributed to all the metro lines in Taoyuan, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, as well as the first tramway lines in Kaohsiung and New Taipei. This new contract adds to our long and successful experience in this field, and I am confident in the ability of our teams to support our partner and our client as effectively as possible in carrying out this new phase of the Taoyuan metro project.

Improving connectivity and travel time

The Brown Line will connect with the Taoyuan Green Line at BRH01 station and continue to join the MRT Zhonghe–Xinlu line at BRH07 station. The project aims to enhance connectivity between Taoyuan and the Greater Taipei area, serving a population of 10 million. It will provide the shortest transportation corridor between Taipei and Taoyuan, reducing travel time to 18 minutes (compared to 47 min before).

The Taoyuan Metro, officially the Taoyuan Mass Rapid Transit System, serves Taoyuan City, as well as parts of New Taipei City and Taipei City, in Taiwan. The Airport line, officially the Taoyuan Airport MRT opened for service 2017. There are currently 11 other lines and extensions at planning stage or under construction, including the Brown Line.
