Description of Our Community: Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan, conforms to many important standards of international city, and one of them is transportation. An internationally well-known city must possess an excellent transportation system, and MRT is the clue. As the growing population, the traffic load is limited and should be relieved by the public transportation system, and MRT is the best and most efficient way.

Project Description: The organization and the control of KMRT, the BOT Project, are cooperated between the public and private sectors. In official sector, the MRT Bureau of Kaohsiung government takes over the construction, and KMRT is the one that takes charge of practical engineering operation. According to the BOT scheme, during the operation period, KMRT should propose function-designing data to the MRT Bureau to be examined. The KMRT route is divided into Red Line and Orange Line, and the whole construction will be fully completed in 2006.
