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:
“Michelangelo said to Pope Julius II, “Self negation is noble, self-culture is beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared to self-abuse.” Mr. Brown, here, in one of his latest and most graceful poems refers to it in an eloquent line which is destined to live to the end of time—”None know it but to love it, None name it but to praise.””
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
