Kaohsiung Metro Red line will be extended along with Taiwan Railway Administration West Main Line.
There will be intense competition between these companies, because the latter company also try to increase local trains as a mission to transform its rail lines into urban railways.
Despite the expected competition, Tainan Metro Red line will also be extended along TRA, and Dahu Station will be an interchange station of Kaohsiung Metro and Tainan Metro.
