Xinyi Line (Taipei Metro)
The Taipei Metro Xinyi Line is a high-capacity, rapid transit line currently under construction. It is the extension of the Tamsui Line and part of the Red Line. Upon completion, the line will alleviate congestion on the Nangang Line by providing another east-west route through the Xinyi District. The line will span 6.4 km and have 7 underground stations, running from Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to Elephant Mountain.
In May 2012, it was estimated that the line will open in November 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
