To mark 30 years in service, the Taipei MRT has overhauled its uniform design for the first time in 16 years. This sixth iteration highlights functionality and safety. Formal suit jackets and ties have been replaced by short-waisted jackets that are easier to work in. But don’t think this change will sacrifice professionalism. The double-layered collar makes the entire look structured and stylish.

For the Taipei MRT’s 30th anniversary, the uniforms are getting a much-needed overhaul 16 years in the making. So how are they?

It’s more flexible and breathable. For conductors operating above ground, the temperatures during summer can get to 36 or 37 degrees, especially in Tamsui. Sometimes they’re drenched in sweat when they turn back at the end of a run. These will be a lot more comfortable.

This sixth generation of the MRT uniform sports a blue-and-white color scheme. The suit jacket and tie have been retired in favor of a short-waisted jacket and a shirt with a double-layered collar. The two-way zipper makes it more convenient for conductors to access their waist bag and pockets. The maintenance uniform is made of functional fabric that’s lightweight and moisture-wicking, while a reflective strip along the leg will keep them safe on the job.

Hsieh Hsin-yu
Taipei MRT deputy PR manager
Taiwan is a leader in functional textiles, so for the materials this time, we mostly introduced functional fabrics to make sure our team stays comfortable.

The Taipei MRT tallies about 2 million passenger trips every day. As the face of the company, employees need sharp uniforms that don’t sacrifice on functionality.
