The Green line is a Medium capacity rapid transit line in Taichung as part of Taichung Metro.[1][2] The line was briefly opened to the public on 16 November 2020, but closed on 22 November due to faulty couplers on the trains.[3] The line officially re-entered service on 25 April 2021, becoming Taiwan's fifth rapid transit system in operation.[4] Two extensions, one heading east to Dakeng and the other reaching south into Changhua, are also planned.[5][6]
