There is a sign in our local MRT station, reads :
Welcome to take Taipei MRT (metro).

Please tell me -- is there any grammar issue here ?

thank you.

I don't understand why take has been included there. I would prefer the.

'Thank you for taking the Taipei MRT' could be used (as a sign people could see when leaving), but 'Welcome to take' doesn't work.
 
In Taipei MRT , when a train is approaching,the electronic billboard (flash) reads: "train is approaching" , is it right ? How to diaplay that in UK or USA ?

That's fine. 'Train approaching' can also be used to save space, like a headline.
