Cyclists on Taipei Metro endanger other passengers
Cyclists on Taipei Metro endanger other passengers
2025-02-05
Some netizens are saying that a few MRT passengers in Taipei are making themselves a little too comfortable. A short video that went viral recently shows a group of cyclists sitting on the floor of the train. That may not sound like a big deal, were it not for the fact that they had also hung their bikes from the horizontal bars meant for passengers to grab onto. Although the cyclists didn’t seem too bothered, passengers said they were not impressed.
Is this an MRT-themed bike shop? No, it’s the real deal. Three bicycles dangle from the grab handles, looking like they’ll fall off any second. The owners sit on the floor nearby, chilling as if they were in their own living room.

This affects others. The bikes swing around. If there had been a lot of people, I would’ve confronted them.

What the hell? It’s so dangerous. What if they fall on someone?
And it’s not just the hanging bikes. Though two people in the group put the bikes on the floor, they were still doing it all wrong. One of them was leaning the bike against the train seats, while the other was blocking the door to the driver’s cabin.

If you want to bring your bicycle onto the metro, you must comply with regulations. For example, bikes are only allowed on the first and last carriages, and only two bikes are allowed in each carriage at a time.
If you’re unsure, just check the signs. Only two bicycles are allowed at a time, and they must be parked right next to the looped stanchions, or the pole in the center of the car. Additionally, they’re only allowed during certain hours. On weekends and holidays, bikes are allowed any time of the day, but on working days, they’re only allowed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and after 10 p.m. Also pay attention to where you’re entering the MRT. It’s prohibited to bring a bike in from all stations on the Brown Line and the Circular Line; and from Tamsui, Taipei Main Station, Zhongxiao Xinsheng, Zhongxiao Fuxing, Nanjing Fuxing and Da’an, which get a lot of traffic. Violators can be denied service and even fined up to NT$7,500.
It may be public transport, but not everything goes. If a passenger’s action risks damaging equipment or endanger others, they can be denied service or even get slapped with a fine.

捷運車廂驚見奇景! 自行車掛上拉桿 騎士坐地聊天
2025-02-05
把捷運車廂，當成自己家了嗎？有民眾搭乘台北捷運，在車廂內看到奇異景象，一群單車騎士上車時，各自帶著一輛鐵馬進車廂，沒想到，接下來的動作讓人傻眼，因為有三個人，直接把腳踏車掛在拉桿上，鐵馬隨著捷運行進時，不斷晃啊晃，而這群騎士，有人席地而坐、聊起天來，有人低頭滑手機，似乎不以為意。
走進捷運車廂，還以為來到腳踏車店，三輛鐵馬的椅子勾在拉桿上，隨著列車行進時，搖啊搖、晃呀晃，好嚇人，三位騎士則直接席地而坐，一群人把捷運車廂當成自家客廳。

“這個會影響到別人吧，而且會晃。如果他真的人很多的話，我會制止呀”
[[搭車民眾]]
“傻眼啊，很危險，如果掉下來砸到人怎麼辦”
不光是掛車的三人，引起網友討論，其他兩人雖然把車放在自己身旁，但看看他們，一人將車靠在駕駛員門口，一人則是靠著座位，其實也都是NG行為。

“民眾帶腳踏車上捷運務必要遵守規定，像是只能放在頭尾兩節車廂，以及一節車廂只能放兩台車”
捷運頭尾車廂內的「旅客須知」也公告，腳踏車只限兩台，而且必須將車靠在中央立柱兩側，除此之外，時間也有規定，假日整天、平日上午10點到下午4點，以及晚上10點後，才能帶車；另外像是文湖線、環狀線，以及淡水站、台北車站、忠孝新生站、忠孝復興站、南京復興站、大安站則禁止帶車入站，違者可拒載，屢勸不聽更可開罰最高7500元。
捷運上，各種千奇百怪的事情，都有可能發生。若民眾的行為造成設備損壞，或是構成危險，不聽站務人員勸阻，都可以拒載，被請下車，甚至吃上罰單。
