When some people picture riding a train in
Taiwan, they usually think of older trains that all appear the same and move at
the same speed. The inside of these trains is very basic and isn’t very
interesting to them at all.
The Taiwan Rail Administration (TRA)
decided to spend NT$79 million to give some cars a makeover. The outside of
these cars now look a little more serious due to splashes of black and orange.
The design of the inner areas of the cars is to give passengers the idea of
being in a hotel they would like to stay at.
There are also parlor cars where people
are invited to sip some coffee and put their feet up to take in the wonderful
views. This TRA facelift makes for a very relaxing ride on the tracks.
當有些人想像在臺灣搭火車的畫面時，他們通常會想到那些模樣相似、行駛速度不變的舊式火車。這些火車的內裝樣式非常陽春，而且看起來不大有趣。
臺灣鐵路管理局決定花新臺幣七千九百萬元將部分車廂改頭換面。因為黑橘兩色妝點的關係，這些車廂的外觀如今看起來較為嚴肅一些。車廂內部設計的概念，則是要讓乘客有一種他們身處在自己會想入住的飯店那種感覺。
乘客也可以獲邀到豪華車廂啜飲咖啡、歇憩一下並欣賞美景。臺灣鐵路管理局這次的大改造使得搭乘火車變得非常放鬆自在。
