Iāve gotten the rebate when they switch to a bus with 4 seats in a row instead of 3. Was this the case?
Itās 4 seats to a row.
@Marco did you notice any instructions on at the terminal about bikes? Like if itās an extra ticket or needed to be covered in a bike bag?
Since this whole swipe on and off thing started Iāve accidentally locked up two cards. Whatās one to do about this stupid bullshit? Do they unlock them at the 7?
I unlock them at MRT station by telling them where I rode it and then they collect that amount from it. Not sure about bus.
Looked up a card? How?
By failing to swipe the card when I get on the bus and when I get off the bus.

I wonder if the news will talk about the car accident in one of the tunnels between Yilan and Taipei. It didnāt look insane, but there were so many vehicles involved. On my side of teh bus I could see 4 cars and a truck, but there were also some vehicles on the opposite side that I couldnāt see.
No victims, I hope.
The cars and truck on my side were ok, it looked like many vehicles bumped each other at relatively low speed. No idea about the stuff on the opposite side, I could see the road was blocked but couldnāt see anything else.

The service, which was jointly developed by Chunghwa Telecom, Kingwaytek Technology and Tanshui Bus Transportation Co., will run between Kanding Station and Miranew Square in New Taipei, and take about five minutes each way.
So this is where Danshui Bus Company spends its money.
HEY DANSHUI BUS! Quit wasting money on frivolous projects like these and revamp your maps so we donāt have to wait 1 hour for a bus thatās full to the seams of people!

Rant: I am sick and tired of aisle seat hogs. So many selfish people sit in the aisle seat, making the window seat unavailable to anyone. they either think they are āgetting off soonā, which they usually arenāt or they are making a futile attempt avoiding a sun that happens to be on that side.
Lady! Three minutes on the bus wont make you brown. Get some vitamin D! Donāt worry. But I am tired of forcing people to move over or they get difficult and try to make me step over them after the bus has already started moving. They donāt even get up cause they are lazy and donāt wanna move.
Why canāt we make boarding easy!

Does anyone know if the system is
Smart enough to detect double swiping? Sometimes I swipe it but didnāt hear the noise while getting down, so I may swipe again. Does the system understand that 2 swipes while getting off must be for the same ride?
Yes, very annoying, and some of them make no effort to move even though you indicate you want to sit. I think a lot of them want to avoid the aircon vents at the side on some bus types side, but they can be closed so shift the feck over!
Or point the bloody AC at me!
I stand there like an idiot trying to give them the hint that I wanna sit down. These people halve the number of seats on the bus. I can barely step over the old lady while trying to balance brake pedal to the metal!
