The Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT, commonly known as the Airport MRT or Blue Line of Taoyuan Metro, is a rapid transit line which will connect downtown Taipei and Taoyuan International Airport, before linking up with the Taoyuan MRT to THSR Taoyuan Station and onwards to Zhongli. Construction began in 2006, but has been plagued by multiple delays. The system is scheduled to begin commercial service on March 2, 2017. The Bureau of High Speed Rail of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications oversaw construction.
February 2, 2017 to March 1, 2017 is a trial operation phase of the Airport MRT. Trial operation time is 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Passengers can get a free voucher at any Airport MRT station before 1:30 pm. There is a limit of 20,000 vouchers per day and the voucher only valid on the day issued.
The route starts from Terminal 2 of Taoyuan International Airport and extends eastward, passing through Luzhu, Linkou, Guishan, Xinzhuang, and Sanchong, and before terminating in downtown Taipei. From the airport, it also extends south passing by THSR Taoyuan Station before terminating in Zhongli. The route is 51.03 km (31.71 mi) long with 7 underground stations, 15 elevated stations, and two maintenance depots (Qingpu and Luzhu). Elevated track makes up 40.11 km (24.92 mi) of the total route length. The total budget for the project is NT$93.6 billion. As of late March 2016, the project was 97.76% complete. Upon completion, the line is expected to serve over 143,000 passengers per day. The line will have a maximum operational speed of 100 km/h (62 mph).
