(Central News Agency reporter Wu Rui-chi, Taoyuan, 22nd) Taoyuan Mass Rapid Transit Corporation held an encouragement event for new employees today. Taoyuan Mayor Chang San-cheng stated that the new recruits will be involved in the preparations for the Green Line's opening. Taoyuan Metro also announced that it will increase salaries for grassroots staff by approximately 5% to 7.5% this year, optimizing the salary system to strengthen talent retention.
Taoyuan Mass Rapid Transit Corporation held an encouragement event for 115 new employees this afternoon. Chang San-cheng said in his speech that Taoyuan Metro's ridership exceeded 46 million last year, and the Airport MRT only started to make a profit after the end of the pandemic and the implementation of the TPASS policy. Currently, the Green Line MRT is striving to open by the end of the year. The city government will first use buses to cultivate ridership along the MRT route and will subsidize it with a budget in the initial stage. More new MRT lines are expected in the future, and he congratulated the employees for joining a place with challenges and opportunities to learn new things.
Shen Chih-tsang, Chairman of Taoyuan Mass Rapid Transit Corporation, pointed out that Taoyuan Metro will increase salaries for five types of grassroots staff in 2026, including technicians, drivers, station staff, ticket staff, and control information staff, by approximately 5% to 7.5%. The overall salary structure will also be adjusted simultaneously. Through system optimization, Taoyuan Metro's salary level has gradually become comparable to that of Taipei and New Taipei MRTs. The company also continues to optimize night shift allowances, transportation subsidies, and related measures to improve overall working conditions and encourage talent to stay and develop.
Taoyuan Metro stated that 168 people were recruited and hired in batches, of whom 28 have backgrounds in rail, aviation transportation, and passenger transport industries, and some have more than 8 years of practical experience. About 60% of these talents are from Taoyuan. These new recruits will be involved in the critical preparations for the Green Line's opening and will gradually become important core personnel for operational services through systematic training and practical experience, laying the foundation for the Green Line's opening and long-term development.
