(ECNS) -- A high-speed train with animated characters painted on the side of its cabins has become a hit in Taiwan, according to a report by tvbs.com on Tuesday.

The themed train gained popularity among children and cartoon fans as they are happy to see their favorite TV characters from series such as The Amazing World of Gumball, Oggy and the Cockroaches, and The Powerpuff Girls come to life.

Many cartoon fans take photos in front of the train before they get on board.

Besides the colorfully painted exterior, paper cups, napkins on the train and aprons of the on-board service personnel are similarly adorned.

The travel volume of the cartoon-themed train is 30 percent higher than that of other high-speed trains in Taiwan.
