Staff writer, with CNA
The Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport MRT line is to offer 41 hours of non-stop service from Dec. 31 to Jan. 1 so that crowds of revelers expected to attend a New Year’s Eve celebration held by the Taoyuan City Government can return home safely, Taoyuan Metro Corp announced on Friday.
The Taoyuan airport line is to operate from 6am on Dec. 31 to 11pm on Jan. 1, the company said, adding that the extended service also aims to cut down on traffic congestion.
On New Year’s Eve, the city government is holding a celebration, titled “Wonderland,” at the High Speed Rail’s Taoyuan Station Plaza, only one minute’s walk from the Taoyuan HSR Station on the airport line.
