It seems the Kaohsiung MRT may begin trial passenger runs in November! However, it is only a small section. According to friends in other forums the construction in some areas is still not near completion.

Perhaps it saves money on the ticket gate. It will not need both an RFID card reader and a magnetic stripe card reader.
由於磁帶機的read write head會隨使用時間、上磁失效及與車票的摩擦而有損耗,使用壽命亦最多只有10年。
而現時RFID的壽命最少都講緊十幾年,係long term operating cost黎講,唔用RFID就笨。
