Keelung City Calls for Central Funding for MRT
Posted on 2025-11-03 16:07:13
The Keelung City Government is seeking funding from the central government
for the city's MRT line after the approved budget for next year fell short of
its request by over $1.1 billion NT.

The city’s Transportation Department reported today that the central
government approved only $369-million for the next fiscal year, significantly
less than the $1.48 billion the city had requested.

Keelung officials say the city is working with the Taipei and New Taipei City
governments, and if costs become insufficient, New Taipei City has agreed to
front the money, and Keelung will cover the costs through an additional
budget proposal later on.

The Keelung MRT project runs 15.59 kilometers, from Nangang Station to Badu
Station, and includes 13 stations.

The total cost is set at over $69 billion NT, with the central government
covering over $22 billion of Keelung’s share.
