Taipei's public transport system, the [[Taipei Metro]] (commonly referred to as the MRT), incorporates a [[rapid transit|metro]] and [[light rail]] system based on advanced [[Véhicule Automatique Léger|VAL]] and [[Bombardier Transportation|Bombardier]] technology. There are currently six metro lines that are organized and labeled in three ways: by color, line number and depot station name. In addition to the rapid transit system itself, the Taipei Metro also includes several public facilities such as the [[Maokong Gondola]], underground shopping malls, parks, and public squares. Modifications to existing [[Taiwan Railways Administration|railway]] lines to integrate them into the metro system are underway.

In 2017 [[Taoyuan Airport MRT|a rapid transit line]] was opened to connect Taipei with [[Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport]] and [[Zhongli District]]. The new line is part of the new [[Taoyuan Metro]] system.

On 31 January 2020, Hitachi Rail Corporation officially commissioned Phase 1 of the [[Circular line (New Taipei Metro)|Circular line]] which took place at [[Shisizhang station]]. The Circular line is a 15.4&nbsp;km driverless rail system. The Circular line offered free rides beginning in February 2020 for passengers to test the route.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://railway-news.com/hitachi-rail-taipei-metro-circular-line/ |title=Hitachi Rail Commissions Phase 1 of Taipei Metro Circular Line |date=2020-02-03 |website=Railway-News |access-date=2020-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200301052706/https://railway-news.com/hitachi-rail-taipei-metro-circular-line/ |archive-date=1 March 2020 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://focustaiwan.tw/society/202002250014 |title=Free rides on MRT Circular Line to end Saturday - Focus Taiwan |website=focustaiwan.tw |language=zh-Hant-TW |access-date=2020-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200303022214/https://focustaiwan.tw/society/202002250014 |archive-date=3 March 2020 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
