Station names in Taiwan are in Wade–Giles for major stations and in Hanyu Pinyin for other minor stations. Exceptions exist in Kaohsiung Metro, which uses Tongyong Pinyin in general. Other romanization systems also exists in some cases for private property or traditional place names. The law of Taiwan also requires all notifications in public transportation systems including station names shall be made in Mandarin, Taiwanese Hokkien, and Hakka.[1]
