Korean language announcements to go live on Taipei MRT in August

A new language will soon be heard at selected stations on the Taipei Metro. From August, Korean-language announcements will go live at 15 MRT stations. The move comes amid a rise in the number of Korean tourists visiting Taiwan under their own steam. Travelers who come to the country without a tour group are more likely to appreciate help getting around in their own language. MRT bosses consulted social media to work out which stations could make the most of a linguistic upgrade. The metro is also expanding the coverage of Japanese announcements on its network. The number of overseas tourists coming to Taiwan has skyrocketed since the pandemic. The No. 1 source of visitors is Japan, but the Taipei Metro Corporation has noted a serious rise in South Korean travelers coming to Taiwan independent of a tour group. That’s why they’re adding new announcements in Korean. Voice of Ling Chi-hsiao Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation Fifteen stations will add new Korean announcements for a train arriving at the station. We originally had 13 stations with announcements in Japanese, and we will also add Japanese at eight more interchange stations. We expect them to go online at the end of August, providing a more internationalized service. To choose which stations need Korean, the company considered social media data as well as trending topics of discussion online, to work out where Korean visitors see as the capital’s top destinations. They hope their announcements will reach as many Korean travellers as possible. Voice of Ling Chi-hsiao Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation Considering the international development trends of metropolitan areas, we provide Mandarin, English, Taiwanese and Hakka language announcements, and at relevant stations we have added arrival announcements in Japanese or Korean. We have taken into account whether the announcement can play to completion by the time the train pulls in to the platform. Very soon, you might hear Korean floating through the air beside the many other languages spoken in this station. If you’re lucky enough to hear your native language while traveling abroad, you might just find it touches a note of gratitude.
