Taipei, Oct. 31 (CNA) Taipei Metro announced on Thursday the suspension of its services on elevated rail sections beginning from 11 a.m. due to strong winds brought by Typhoon Kong-rey.

The metro system's elevated rail sections are the Wenhu Line, the section between Yuanshan and Tamsui stations on the Tamsui-Xinyi Line, as well as Xinbeitou and Xioubitan stations.
