Metro C381 is a fifth generation train on the Taipei Metro that has served Line 2 and Line 3. This was a part of an expansion of the Taipei Metro network: the Xinyi Line (opened in 2013) and the Songshan Line (opened in 2014).

Exterior

The train has a modified front design with two stripes of blue and includes the Taipei Metro logo. Unlike previous trains, the front face has an emergency door at its center, featuring a translucent window. Replacing the four ribbon barriers on previous Taipei Metro trains, the gangway connections have four small rectangular fall-prevention barriers, while each carriage has two similar fall-prevention barriers.

Interior

The interior gangway connections are modified versions of the MTR SP1900/1950 EMU trains that have a similar design. The primary modification added LCD screens.

Train formation

The train numbers range from 501/502 to 547/548.[1]
