Yellow line, also called Kaohsiung Metropolitan line , is a planned medium capacity, rapid transit line on the Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit, currently done planning and under project review process. It's projected to begin commencement building work in 2020.[1]

History

The initial plan of the yellow line was first seen in 2002 when the whole MRT construction plan for Kaohsiung was being re-sketched.[2]

By the spring of 2015, the director Wu Yi-Long (吳義隆) of MRT Construction Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government addressed to the local parliament that the yellow line of light rail transit was undergoing feasibility assessment whose route was likely a combination of old-drafted yellow line and Brown Line, which was hoped to be the second circular public transportation line across Kaohsiung City preceded by the first circular line in Kaohsiung and the whole nation. [3][4]

On 14 February 2017, four members of parliament of Democratic Progressive Party from Kaohsiung, namely Liu Shih-Fung (zh:劉世芳), Lee Kun-Zher (zh:李昆澤)、Lai Rei-Long (zh:賴瑞隆)、 and Hsu Jih-Jeih (zh:許智傑) had held a joint press conference unveiling the new draft of the route for the yellow line and asked the executive yuan to comprise this plan into The Forward-looking project, whose bid was later agreed and approved by the yuan to be included in on March 23. [5]。

On March 27, few days after the approval of the yuan, local MRT bureau submitted the feasibility study of the yellow line to the authorities concerned of the central government. In the study, the line was planned to be an underground system whose route basically combines planned Brown Line, Fongshan Line, and Wujia section of the Green Line.

The part begins from Y1 to Y13 is also called Jiangong-Minzu (建工民族) Line while the section between Y1 and Y21 is called Chenching-Wujia (澄清五甲) Line.
