Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation ─ Metro Service

Taipei Metro is currently adjusting the fonts of station names on signage across the system, gradually replacing them with bold fonts that are easier for the elderly and those with dementia to read, to create a friendlier environment for seniors.

The evolution of Taipei Metro's signage fonts will take place across two phases. The first phase, started in June 2023, aims to accommodate the increasing number of tourists from Japan and South Korea by adding Japanese and Korean indicators at 21 key tourist stations, including Taipei Main Station, Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station, Ximen Station, Longshan Temple Station, and Jiantan Station.

The second phase focuses on creating a senior and dementia-friendly environment by gradually changing station name fonts on Taipei Metro signage to bold fonts, making them clearer and easier to read, thus creating a more livable and accessible city.

In response to rapid changes in the social population structure, Taipei Metro has incorporated the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into our corporate management and translated them into practical actions, continuously promoting an elderly-friendly environment at all stations.
