The Red line is a metro line of Kaohsiung Metro which runs north–south through the city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. At 31 kilometres (19 mi), it is the fourth-longest metro line in Taiwan, after Taoyuan Airport MRT, Tamsui-Xinyi Line and Zhonghe-Xinlu Line.

There is a plan to extend the line north to Hunei District[citation needed]. This would add 8 stations to the line.
