台北捷运上了很多美国人会阅读的杂志，Wired！好感动！ 比较有趣的是下面美国乡民讨论的意见，大家在战哪个城市的捷运最好， 连中国人也跑出来战台湾 ＝ ＝ http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/05/taipei-metro-re.html All Subways Should be Like Taipei's Marvel of Mass Transit 所有地铁应该都要像台北令人称羡的大众运输工具一样 Taipei's insanely efficient, remarkably punctual and shockingly clean subway system is a marvel of mass transit every city should emulate. 台北超有效率、非常准时、超乾净的捷运系统， 是所有城市的大众交通工具系统该学习的榜样。 With mass transit ridership in America rising alongside gas prices and people grumbling about the level of service, the Taipei Rapid Transit System has many lessons to offer on how to run a subway system. With customer satisfaction topping 94 percent, Taipei Metro may well be the best mass transit system in the world. 随着油价的上涨和美国乘客抱怨品质的服务，台北捷运有很多地铁系统可以学习的地方。 台北捷运有９４％的乘客满意度，可能是全世界最好的大众交通系统。 The San Francisco Municipal Railway considers 65 percent customer satisfaction a good mark, but that kind of performance earns you a D in school. New York does a little better with a C average, and the Chicago "L" manages to keep 80 percent of its passengers satisfied. But Taipei is in another league. 三藩市的轻轨系统只有６５％的乘客满意度，这种满意程度如果在学校只有Ｄ的成绩。 纽约好一点，平均起来有Ｃ；而芝加哥的高架捷运，让乘客满意度有８０％。 但台北又是另一个程度的竞争了。 What makes it so good? 是什麽让台北捷运这麽好？ Although there are just 69 stations to serve a city of 2.6 million people, the Metro is the fastest, most efficient way to get around. In the 12 years since Taipei Metro has opened, it has cut from three hours to less than one the time it takes to get across town. It carries 1.1 million people a day yet last year it experienced just 36 delays of more than five minutes -- an impressive statistic that makes this subway one of the most reliable in the world. 即使只有６９站服务２６０万的乘客，台北捷运是最快和最有效率在台北到处跑的方法。 自从１２年前台北捷运开站以来，以前三小时的路程现在不到一个小时就可到达。 去年捷运日流量１１０万人，而只有３６的误点超过五分钟－非常令人惊讶的数据， 这是为甚麽台北捷运是世界上其中一个最可靠的捷运系统。 It's also one of the cleanest. Stations are remarkably tidy, particularly compared to those in America and even Europe. There are trash and recycling bins everywhere, and passengers are not only expected to drop their refuse in the right bin, they do so. Even the most crowded stations tend to have very little rubbish on the floor. Riders give the system a score of 95.5 percent for "overall tidiness." 它也是其中一个最乾净的系统。和美国，甚至欧洲比起来，台北捷运站超整洁。 捷运站里到处都有垃圾桶和回收桶，乘客也确实做到回收垃圾。 即使是最繁忙的捷运站，也很少看到垃圾在地上。 乘客对捷运系统清洁度打了９５﹒５分。 Knowing when your train arrives is important when using mass transit, and few things are more frustrating than waiting forever on a platform. Most stations in Taipei have television screens that display real-time arrival information. (They also show commercials, but we figure the subway system, which cost $18 billion to build, has some bills to pay.) The screens in transfer stations also tell you when connecting trains arrive so you can pick up the pace if necessary. Riders gave the system a score of 88.7 percent for providing accurate arrival information. 知道下班列车什麽时後来对乘客来说是最重要的事，在月台等车也很烦。 在台北大部份的捷运站内都有液晶萤幕告诉你车什麽时後来（萤幕里会有些广告， 不过捷运花＄１８０亿打造的，放些广告应该没关系吧）。萤幕还会告诉你转车 的列车什麽时後来，你可以走快点如果要赶时间的话。乘客给这个系统打了８８﹒７分。 The system also scored in the high 80s for its ticket machines that are easy to use. Taipei ditched tickets in favor of tokens -- the opposite of what New York has done -- embedded with a microchip that records the passenger's destination. Riders scan their tokens over the turnstile reader when entering the station, then drop it through a slot in the exit gate when leaving. Try leaving the wrong station -- meaning you've underpaid -- and the gate won't open. The drawback to the system is the token machines only accept small denomination bills, and people usually have to get change at a booth -- which, oddly, doesn't sell tokens. 票务系统乘客也给了８５分以上。台北捷运从电子卡改成代币式－和纽约相反。 代币会记忆你的出站地点。乘客在入站转门的地方刷代币，出站的时候投进转门口。 如果你出错站，代币会投不进去（因为你没付足够的钱），转门不会转。 这系统的缺点是，只有代币机只接受小钞，乘客必须到别的机器把大钞换成小钞。 奇怪的是，换钞机不卖代币。 The system isn't perfect, though. One of it's biggest shortcomings is the relatively small number of destinations -- just 69 stations. Taipei Metro has more lines under construction, includes the long-awaited Xinyi Line that will travel the congested Xinyi Road to Taipei 101 tower, the world's tallest building. The system's second phase of construction is expected to cost $13.8 billion when completed. 当然台北捷运系统不是完美的。台北捷运最大的问题是只有６９站！台北捷运很多线还在 施工中，包括等待很久的信义线（信义线会经过拥挤的信义路到台北１０１大楼，全世界 最高的大楼）。系统第二阶段的施工预计将花费１３８亿。 --
