Embarking on a new era for Kaohsiung's transportation system

高雄捷運即將通車 The 28.3-kilometer Red Line of Kaohsiung Rapid Transit System serves 24 stations, of which 15 will be underground, 8 elevated, and one ground level in the districts of Nanzih, Zuoying, Sanmin, Sinsing, Lingya, Cianjin, and Siaogang. The initial full fare is NT$20 with NT$5 added for each additional distance section. A round trip on the red line takes 90 minutes, with a stop at each station of 25 seconds. The first train starts at 6:00 am, and the last train leaves at 11:00 pm. The train normally runs every 10 minutes, but during rush hour the train will run every 6 minutes.

 KMRT provides usual card, commemorative card, one-day pass and group pass. At Formosa Boulevard Station, passengers must travel within 15 minutes for transfer status; as for other stations, transfer requires it be within 2 hours. There will be a charge for time beyond 2 hours.

 In order to encourage the public to take KMRT, Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation is offering a free ride trial during the first week after its operation for I-Pass cardholders. Passengers who hold I-Pass can enjoy a NT$ 12 dollars fare within any distance and a free transfer ride.

20條捷運紅線接駁路線地圖 Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation has recruited 300 volunteers who will receive a 20-hour training course. The volunteers will soon provide passenger assistance, ticketing and correct procedure assistance for the automated card machine, as well as disruptive behavior security.

 The Transportation Bureau has arranged 20 shuttle bus lines along the Red Line and 5 shuttle bus lines along the Orange Line to make KMRT stations more accessible. The shuttle buses make stops around KMRT stations; each route serves three to six kilometers with stops at main attractions, main transportation, administrations, shopping centers, business districts, schools and hospitals. The shuttle buses establish complete transportation networks.

 KMRT has incorporated transfer shuttle buses in order to provide a more convenient service for the public. The Red Line offers twenty shuttle buses which are coded in name according to the KMRT station.

高雄交通邁入新紀元

 全長約28.3公里的高雄捷運紅線即將通車,起跳票價訂為20元,自小港沿海路、漢民路口沿中山路、博愛路至橋頭站,共設有15個地下車站、8個高架車站及1個地面車站,來回行駛時間約90分鐘,每站約停靠25秒,首班車清晨6時於各端點車站發車,末班車晚間11時發車,尖峰時段班距最大不超過6分鐘,離峰時段班距最大不超過10分鐘。

 高雄捷車票主要分為單程票、儲值卡、一日卡及團體票等,除美麗島站之外,不同車站進出時限兩小時,同一車站進出時限則為15分鐘,逾時加收最低單程票價。

 高捷公司為鼓勵民眾養成搭乘捷運習慣,通車後一星期開放免費試乘,使用高捷「一卡通」IC儲值票卡的民眾,在試乘結束後的三個月內無論路程遠近,均可享有12元的優惠票價,同時加上一段免費公車轉乘。 為提昇紅線營運初期的服務安全與品質,捷運公司另招募的300名志工,在接受20小時的基礎與特殊訓練後,未來將穿梭於捷運車站與電聯車之間,協助站務人員提供旅客諮詢、購票、進出閘門及違規旅客勸導等服務。

 高雄市捷運路網目前規劃為十字型,可及性明顯不足,高雄市政府交通局特別規劃紅線20條及橘線5條捷運接駁公車路線,以捷運車站為中心,路線三至六公里為服務範圍,銜接重要旅次產生吸引點、主要交通轉運站,服務沿線行政中心、著名景點、百貨賣場、辦公大樓、密集住宅區、商店街、機關學校、醫院等,建立以捷運為幹、接駁公車為枝之路網型態,提供無接縫之大眾運輸服務。

 此外,各捷運站比照國際先進捷運系統及高雄都會區運輸特性,規劃良善的公車接駁臨停區及汽機車、腳踏車與計程車等轉乘設施,進一步提供更便捷的服務。

 20條捷運紅線接駁路線以編號加上捷運路線的中文顏色名稱與捷運站名作為識別,讓民眾一目了然。
