[1] Introduction
In the past, Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation (TRTC) had always sold a range of
limited issue products. Customers who are unable to purchase these products
during the sales period are often disappointed. In an effort to serve more
people, the TRTC opened the first exclusive Metro Souvenir Shop on December 27,
2002 at Taipei Main Station, which is also a key transport hub in Taipei's
metropolitan area. The Metro Souvenir Shop caters to local residents and
international tourists alike. Also, people may wish to admire the attractive
products, or purchase them as souvenirs or gifts for friends. To service more
customers and enhance service quality, branches of Metro Souvenir Shop have
continuously opened at Maokong Gondola station, Taipei Arena, and MRT Zhongxiao
Fuxing Station.
