The Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT, commonly known as the Airport MRT or Purple Line of Taoyuan Metro, is a rapid transit line that connects downtown Taipei and Taoyuan International Airport, before linking up with the Taoyuan MRT to THSR Taoyuan Station and onwards to Zhongli.
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. The line is expected to serve over 143,000 passengers per day. The line has a maximum operational speed of 100 km/h (62 mph).
Times shown are fastest timetabled journey from A1 Taipei Main Station.
Two types of services is offered: Commuter Trains and Express Trains. While both trains travel the same route, Express Trains stop at fewer stations and are specially provided for airport passengers. Commuter Trains, which stop at every station, operate from Taipei to Zhongli in 70 minutes, while Express Trains run from Taipei directly to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport in 38 minutes. During the initial stage of operation, services run with a 10-minute headway for Express and Commuter Trains (or 5 minutes per train), with a target interval of 3.75 minutes between trains.
