A budget of NT$441.7 billion was allocated for the project. In 1986, the initial network design of the Taipei Metro by the CEPD was passed by the Executive Yuan, although the network corridors were not yet set. Apart from adjustments made to the initial proposal, Wenhu line of the medium-capacity metro system was also included into the network. On March 1, 1985, the Executive Yuan Council for Economic Planning and Development (CEPD) signed a treaty with the Taipei Transit Council (TTC), composed of three American consultant firms, to do overall research on a rapid transit system in metropolitan Taipei. In January 1984, the university proposed an initial design for a medium-capacity rapid transit system in Taipei City, including plans for Wenhu line and Tamsui–Xinyi line of the medium-capacity metro system. In 1982, the Taipei City Government commissioned National Chiao Tung University to do a research and feasibility study on medium-capacity rapid transit systems.
to form a team and provide in-depth research on the preliminary report. In 1981, the IOT invited British Mass Transit Consultants (BMTC) and China Engineering Consultants, Inc. In February 1977, the Institute of Transportation (IOT) of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) released a preliminary rapid transport system report, with the designs of five lines, including U1, U2, U3, S1, and S2, to form a rough sketch of the planned corridors, resulting in the first rapid transit system plan for Taipei. With the increase of traffic congestion accompanying economic growth in the 1970s, the need for a rapid transit system became more pressing.
The idea of constructing the Taipei Metro was first put forth at a press conference on 28 June 1968, where the Minister of Transportation and Communications Sun Yun-suan announced his ministry's plans to begin researching the possibility of constructing a rapid transit network in the Taipei metropolitan area however, the plan was shelved due to fiscal concerns and the belief that such a system was not urgently needed at the time. The initial network plan approved by the Executive Yuan in 1986 The system has been praised by locals for its effectiveness in relieving growing traffic congestion in Taipei and its surrounding satellite towns, with over two million trips made daily. Since 2008, the network has expanded to 131 stations and the passenger count has grown by another 66%. Over the next nine years, the number of passengers had increased by 70%. It began operations on March 28, 1996, and by 2000, 62 stations were in service across three main lines. The initial network was approved for construction in 1986 and work began two years later. Taipei Metro was the first metro system ever built in Taiwan. Taipei Mass Rapid Transit ( MRT), branded as Metro Taipei, is a rapid transit system serving the areas of Taipei and New Taipei in Taiwan, operated by the government-owned Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation, which also operates the Maokong Gondola.
