Kaohsiung Metro (Chinese: 高雄大眾捷運系統, 高雄捷運)[1] is a rapid transit and light rail system covering the metropolitan area of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Its rapid transit network is known as Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit System[4] or Kaohsiung Rapid Transit (KRT). Construction of the MRT started in October 2001.[5] The MRT opened in 2008 and the Circular light rail in 2015.[6][7][8] Kaohsiung Metro is operated by the Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corporation (KRTC; Chinese: 高雄捷運公司) under a BOT contract the company signed with the Kaohsiung City Government.
The system uses romanizations derived from Tongyong Pinyin.[9]

Since Taiwan's Tongyong pinyin is closer to how English is actually pronounced and spoken around the world, — it uses "si" instead of "xi" — the new MRT line should use Tongyong pinyin. Kaohsiung's MRT has used Tongyong pinyin for many years, yet foreign visitors and residents have no problem navigating the system.
