Taipei, Feb. 9 (CNA) Taichung's new mass rapid transit (MRT) system, which suspended operations due to a major malfunction during trial runs in November last year, is undergoing a series of crucial tests in order to resume service, its operators said Tuesday.
Taichung Mass Rapid Transit Corporation (TMRTC) said all 18 trains have replaced broken components and are being subjected to a series of tests to ensure the system is stable.
The MRT system's Green Line, which started trial runs on Nov. 16, reported a major malfunction caused by the improper assembly of anchors for couplings that connect the carriages, leading to a suspension of service.
