【台灣】高雄捷運初體驗 @ il Giardino Romantico

Since the completion of the Kaohsiung Rapid Transport, this is the first time I'd ever been on it. Compared to Taipei MRT, I think they were fortunate to have a model preceding them. The whole system seems clean, spacious, and comfortable. Probably because it was constructed after Taipei MRT, they made a lot of 'improvements', if you will, to the system. I actually enjoyed my ride on it very much, despite the inevitable faults that every system is doomed to have...

高捷完工至今，我是第一次使用這個系統。跟台北捷運相比，我覺得高雄很幸運有台北這個例子可以作為參考。整個系統感覺很清潔，很寬暢，也很舒適。大概是因為是在台北捷運行運多年後才開工，很多台北捷運的小瑕疵似乎在高捷都看不到。不過缺點還是有的。

Well, I must say, the system is rather impeccable, but the passengers still need a lot of time to get used to this subway culture. They still need to learn how to wait till all the passengers get off before they get on, and they will learn that it's really no big deal if you get a seat or not. I still hope that the Kaohsiung public support the system, because only through a long term support, can the system improve. For instance, the frequency of trains and the development of more stations... So hop on today! If you haven't already...

雖然整個系統看似無瑕疵，但乘客仍然需要一些適應期。他們還是需要一點時間去適應＂先讓車上乘客下車再上車＂等基本捷運系統禮儀。不過我還是希望大家能夠多支持高捷。這樣發展的才會快，班次會增加、日後設立的站點也會越多。所以如果你還沒去體驗過高捷，趕快去體驗一下吧！！
