Case study 
Kaohsiung’s Circular Light Rail Transit system shows how transport investment can connect urban destinations and services. The full 22.1-kilometre loop opened in 2024 with 38 stations, linking residential and commercial areas, healthcare and cultural destinations, and connections to other rail services and public bicycles. Public consultation and design adjustments formed part of its development. The case offers a basis for examining sustainable mobility through the journeys people need to make, the connections between modes and the processes through which infrastructure responds to local concerns.
