The one-runway Taipei Songshan Airport is located near the center of Taipei city and was the only international airport in Taiwan prior to February 26, 1979. The airport lost most of the traffic when international flights moved to the new Taoyuan International Airport after 1979. Regular cross-strait charter flights to mainland China started on July 4, 2008, with Songshan receiving the majority of flights. On July 4, 2009, a driverless medium-capacity transit (MCT) linking Taipei Songshan Airport with Taipei rapid transit system network (total system daily ridership of 1.56 million) was opened. The improved accessibility makes the airport more attractive to passengers. The smaller size of the MCT vehicles makes it difficult for airport passengers with luggage to get in and out during the rush hours when the system is already at capacity. The seating arrangement of the MCT vehicles further complicates the situation and improvements in new vehicle design should be considered to alleviate this problem.
