C’mon, even a scooter’ll do in a pinch, just watch your, uh, direction of motion. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Always, they are hopeless with numbers.

There were a lot of people there but definitely not that many people! Divide by ten or more.

Ok it seems these numbers come from here but still I don’t think 2 million could be remotely correct. 1000 shuttle bus trips in one day.
Assuming people go over and back obviously that’s what 50 to 100 ppl on the bus equals 50,000 to 100,000 people .

I know it is extreme popular and I’m thinking of going this Friday with fam. Stay tuned :sweat_smile:

I checked about this and many people just walked 4km to the high speed train station and back and there was a two hour wait to get on the highway.

The extra zeroes in the numbers are a nice touch.

I’d prefer however to have Mr Jones alive and well among us!

Answers on a postcard please.

Many visitors gave one-star ratings to the nation’s flagship tourism event on Google Maps, saying they were unable to get on the shuttle bus to the venue and had to walk nearly an hour from the high-speed rail station in Chiayi County’s Taibao City (太保).

A woman in New Taipei took the advice of a fortuneteller to release bagfuls of Shubunkin goldfish into the wild, in order to wish her mother good health. She’s even documented her act—seven counts to be exact—on social media for the world to see. Someone eventually reported her to the local animal protection office, and she was tracked down and fined NT$30,000.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Ministry of Transportation on Thursday said pedestrian walk signals will remove the running “little green man“ animation to prevent individuals from rushing across intersections.

Department of Railways, Highways and Road Safety Director-General Wu Tung-ling (吳東凌) said that some pedestrian signals switch to a “quick-walk” or “running” animation just before the light changes, per Liberty Times. This feature has been adopted in 20 counties and cities across Taiwan.

Wu said the little green man will still flash when the time for pedestrians to cross the street winds down. However, under the new rules, the figure’s running animation will be discontinued to prevent the misconception that pedestrians are being urged to hurry or run at the last moment.
