New high-tech tilting trains make their debut
Abstract:
The TRA has invested almost US$85 million into the new trains. They employ nanotechnology to help sterilize restrooms and clean the glass windows on the trains. According to TRA officials, a special coating on the windows prevents dust from accumulating.
The Taroko Express will run three times a day from Taipei to Hualien, and will make an extra run on holidays. A one-way ticket costs a little more than US$13.
