The 14.4 kilometres (8.9 mi) line has 14 stations and is the second metro line to open in southern Taiwan.[1] Shortly prior to opening, flaws such as emergency exit lighted signs, unclear ticket displays, and jammed emergency exits were fixed.[2] Although it was originally supposed to open with the Red Line, it was delayed due to tunnel collapse during construction December 2005.[3]
