Would trains traveling at high speed be derailed? "I don't think so," says Mr. Tung: the Taipei MRT is fitted with automatic protection systems, and if the rails buckle or debris falls on the track, the trackside signaling system will immediately signal an abnormal condition, causing trains to brake automatically. Thus a derailment at the trains 'full speed of 80 kilometers per hour is very unlikely.
「應該不會」，董先生表示，台北捷運有自動防護系統，只要鐵軌有扭曲或有物品散落，鐵軌旁的號誌系統立刻會發出異常訊號，列車收到訊號便自動減速，因此要從時速八十公里的行駛高速中直接出軌不太可能。
