I checked the timetable, one extended express train per hour only and in the morning and evening rush hours. Useless… Also only 5 trains per hour tops in general bound to airport from the closest HSR station makes very little sense to me. Airport MRT needs more frequency. [Screenshot_20240104_1352…

I think what is needed is some kind of express train that only stops at danshui, hongshulin, and mingchuan W rd, Zhongshan, and Taipei main station.

Took the MRT in Taipei today for the first time this year! Was mega crowded and I was really not looking forward to it given when a horribly humid day it was but pleasantly surprised that they seem to have set the aircon at a reasonable temperature, was almost pleasant!

Last year someone important complained that the red line trains smelled bad because the AC was set to 26 degrees, and often the train was freaking hot. Mayor told them to set it all to 23 from then on. No idea why they set the AC temperature so high. The train moving a few km uses more electricity …
