In addition to convenience, the Taipei MRT project has also yielded new space for Taipei under elevated sections and above some underground sections of its routes. DORTS has transformed this new land into long strips of verdant green and built, among other facilities, trails for pedestrians and cyclists. These attractive spots for both passengers and local communities form a pleasant contrast to the rigid steel and cement jungle around.
