As a clean, of the Neihu Line in 2009, and the future operational and Messages from Company Heads quick, and convenient transportation service, Taipei Metro developmental needs of the company, we proposed a is an enjoyable way to get around the city that integrates company restructuring plan in 2007. The plan was passed advanced transportation technology into everyday life. at the board of directors meeting held on May 23, 2007. Currently, Taipei Metro routes cover a total of 74.4 On September 27, 2007, Taipei City Government then kilometers of operational track, and this is continually approved the measure and passed it along to the Ministry being extended. Through this expansion, we are providing of Transportation and Communications for review, which ever more convenient services to our customers. This is in turn gave its approval on October 9, 2007. Originally, reflected in the increasing number of passengers taking the company was composed of ten departments, one advantage of the Taipei Metro. We are proud to have division, and five offices. Under the new plan, the ushered in such a life-changing convenience for the structure was changed to 14 divisions and four offices. people residing in the greater Taipei area. This new organization can more effectively utilize company resources, increase organizational efficiency, To Taipei Metro, 2007 marked an important milestone in and achieve sustainable company development. system safety. The internationally approved and adopted standard of system operational reliability is measured As we look to our future, Taipei Metro will maintain its by the average number of car kilometers traveled per conscientious attitude, while continuing to innovate to delay of five minutes or more. Based on this calculation, create an even higher level of service for our passengers. Taipei Metro has ranked number one in reliability from Our continued mission is to enrich the lives of Taipei's 2004 to 2007 among the 26 members of the Nova and residents and make our city healthier and more vital. CoMET consortiums, which represent metro systems from around the world. In 2007, we had only one such Richard C.L. Chen delay per 1.851 million car kilometers, our best record so far. Such an achievement shows that in both the construction of our track system and our day-to-day operation, we are working at a world class level. In order to improve the leisure industry in Maokong and upgrade transportation to the hills around Taipei, the Taipei City Government planned and promoted the construction of the groundbreaking Maokong Gondola system. This was the first gondola system of its kind in Taiwan not located in an amusement park and which was open to all members of the public. The city lacked related operational experience and there was little interest among private contractors in the project. Because of TRTC's expertise in maintenance, standardization, multifaceted business operations, and marketing, the city enlisted TRTC to operate the Maokong Gondola system. Our series of achievements in operating the Taipei Metro has helped us to branch out and develop other projects to improve life in the city. On July 4, 2007, the Maokong Gondola went into official operation. Aside from the providing amazing views of Maokong's beautiful scenery, the gondola also provides easy access to the area's tea shops and its unique tea drinking culture. The convenience provided by the Maokong Gondola has served to bring even more visitors to one of Taiwan's hottest domestic tourist destinations, attracting people from across the island to this beloved area to sample tea and enjoy the gondola ride. According to an independent survey completed in January 2008, the overall satisfaction rate for riders of the Maokong Gondola was 80.3%. After taking a ride on the gondola, a total of 94% of respondents would recommend the gondola to friends and family and 84% said they would like to come back and ride again. This not only represents our successful operation of the Maokong Gondola, but also shows that earlier investments in Taipei Smart Card Corporation and Metro Consulting Service Ltd. are paying dividends as we expand further into the travel and leisure industry. 首長的話 Messages from Company Heads 04/05 總經理的話 Message from the President 捷運首重安全，2007 年為了強化維護旅客安全，臺 一流捷運系統之精神，將問題一一克服。自通車營運 北捷運進行多項改善措施，繼捷運臺北車站及忠孝復 至 2007 年底，系統平均可用度高達 99.24%，依原廠 興站兩個主要轉運站設置月台門後，其餘未設置月台 法國 POMA 公司總裁 Jean Gauthier 2007 年 10 月 25 日 門的高運量車站，由公司自行研發「月台區軌道侵入 來函，確認貓空纜車已達到現今其纜車系統最高可用 偵測預警系統」，以有效預防人員或物品掉落軌道所 度，特別難能可貴的是，貓空纜車系統還是世界獨一 造成生命財產傷害與系統之延誤。此外，為了讓民眾 無二，由五段連結而成的高度複雜系統。至 2007 年 實際體驗平時不能碰觸之捷運安全設備，也建置完成 底旅運量達 236 萬 4,682 人次，平均日運量達 15,978 「捷運逃生體驗營」，結合靜態展示及動態體驗，將捷 人次，在不到 3 個月時間內，累積運量即突破百萬人 運逃生知識及設備使用方法充分教育民眾。其他如高 次，旅客來自於全國各地，顯示貓空纜車的營運成 運量電聯車增設列車監督資訊系統（TSIS）、車廂間防 果，獲得國人充分肯定與最大支持。 墜設施等，都是提昇系統營運安全的具體作為。 自 1996 年 3 月 28 日無人駕駛木柵線正式通車後，至 2007 年持續推出許多貼心服務措施，包括延長假日 2008 年 2 月 22 日止，臺北捷運累積旅運量已突破 30 腳踏車上捷運的時段，推廣無污染休閒運具；調整 億人次，代表旅客對臺北捷運的支持與肯定。未來無 新北投支線營運模式，兼顧當地民眾生活與交通需 論是捷運系統或貓空纜車，公司都會以服務高品質、 要；推動「照亮捷運站」計畫，運用環保與節能的燈 安全高標準，持續自我要求，朝「臺北捷運，世界一 具，強化捷運車站照明與旅客行人的安全；積極辦理 流」的願景前進，讓臺北捷運的整體表現更為突出， 捷運車站廁所及空調改善，提供乘客舒適大眾運輸環 成果更加豐碩。 境；縮短尖峰時段列車班距，改善列車擁擠情況；舉 辦街舞及熱門音樂等活動，豐富生活多樣性。依 2007 年「臺北捷運旅客滿意度調查」，旅客整體滿意度達 94.1%，為歷年來最高，代表旅客對我們所做各項努 力的肯定，公司亦將調查結果作為精進服務的重要參 考，提供高品質服務。 這一年最大的挑戰，在於接受臺北市政府政策性委託 經營貓空纜車系統。通車前相關新法規與流程訂定、 系統設施設備點交與準備、人員進用與培訓，以及 系統通過初勘與履勘等，7 月 4 日正式對外開放通車 營運。貓空纜車營運背負著社會相當高的期望與嚴厲 監督，初期面對系統服務品質、車廂通風及落雷暫停 營運等問題，在公司全體同仁群策群力下，秉持經營 At Taipei Metro, our first priority is the safety of our host of tasks had to first be completed.

BACKGROUND Railway safety 2. Railway is the backbone of Hong Kong’s public transport system, the safety of which is of paramount importance. Currently, the MTR system carries more than 5 million passenger trips per day on average, accounting for about 40% of all public transport passenger trips. The MTR train service has been at a consistently high ranking in terms of safety amongst major metro systems around the world in the Community of Metros (“CoMET”)1. 3. Railway is basically a set of enormous and complicated machinery driven by electricity, which comprises hundreds of thousands of various components. The major components include trains, tracks, power supply systems, signalling systems, communication systems and control centre. These components are subject to wear and tear in daily operation. To ensure railway safety, the main focus would be on proper maintenance as a preventive measure to reduce the probability of incidents. When an incident occurs, the first 1 Currently, major metro systems in CoMET include the Beijing Subway, Berlin U-Bahn, Dehli Metro, Guangzhou Metro, Hong Kong MTR, London Underground, Mexico City Metro, Metro de Madrid, Moscow Metro, New York City Subway, Paris Métro and Paris RER, Metro de Santiago, Singapore MRT, Shanghai Metro, Metro São Paulo and Taipei Metro.

  • BSRA 2014-03-01 Entertainment Report
    BSRA Entertainment Report for March 1, 2014 LONG FORM (for historical record) Entertainment Report for March 1, 2014) March 1, 2014. Long-time ERA and BSRA member, Seashore Trolley Museum instructor, and 35 year WCBS Newsradio 880 meteorologist for Todd Glickman travels around the world working with companies that invest in research at MIT. This gives him the opportunity to ride transit systems around the world. In this show, we got to see his recent travels to Asia, featuring Taiwan, China, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, plus a few surprises from a recent trip to Europe. All through the show, he showed us numerous interior as well as exterior photos of both rail vehicles and stations, with some photos of signage and fare payment infrastructure, and some iPhone video clips. He started the show describing the parts of his life history that led to his introduction to Seashore Trolley Museum by way of meeting a fellow radio broadcaster there. The first images we got to see were a video from inside a Bangkok (Thailand) SkyTrain while in motion. They formerly ran in 3 car trains, but as demand has grown, they have started running in 4 car trains. Like several metro trains that we got to see later in the show, they are fully passable along the length of each train without requiring passengers to open doors between cars, such that from the passenger's point of view each train is one large articulated car. Nearly all of the SkyTrain cars are covered in ad wrap. SkyTrain (Bongkok Mass Transit System, BTS) is a private company, as is MRT (Metropolitan Rapid Transit), the company that runs the Bangkok Metro (subway), and they have separate fare collection, even at stations where their routes connect, although fare collection is planned to become integrated eventually.
