The Puyuma Express (Chinese: 普悠瑪號; pinyin: Pǔyōumǎ Hào) is a type of railway service on Taiwan Railway (TR) notable for using tilting trains. It began commercial service on 6 February 2013 during the Spring Festival.[2][3]
Puyuma Express was commissioned by the Taiwan Railways Administration in order to upgrade the Taiwanese rail system.[4] As the mountains of Taiwan are a barrier to coast-to-coast transportation, motor travel is prone to congestion. The high speed and capacity of the service helps to alleviate this problem.[5]Puyuma Express also increases passenger capacity on TR.[6] The maximum operational speed of Puyuma Express is 150 km/h (93 mph), making it the fastest service of TR.[7]Puyuma Express belongs to the Tze-chiang limited express class of TRA services in terms of fares; however, it is a reservation-only service similarly to the Taroko Express, with no standing passengers allowed.
