Taipei announces free rides on new Neihu MRT line

Free rides on Taipei City’s MRT Neihu Line will be offered to the public on June 29 and June 30 as well as on the afternoon of July 1, the Taipei City Government said on Sunday.

But because of the Wanan (萬安) air raid drill scheduled for the afternoon of June 30, people will not be allowed to enter or leave the stations during the drill.

Songshan Airport and Dazhi stations would not be open for free rides, the city government said.

Special vouchers for free rides will be distributed at stations along the Neihu Line on June 29 and June 30 between 8.30am and 3.30pm, and on July 1 from 11.30am to 3.30pm.

Fifty thousand free rides will be available each day on June 29 and June 30 and 30,000 on July 1st.

The city government said that each special voucher would indicate the station name and a time slot for the free ride.

Free rides will be offered between the Jiannan Road (劍南路) and Nangang Exhibition Hall (南港展覽館) stations, which includes Xihu (西湖), Gangqian (港墘), Wende (文德), Neihu (內湖), Dahu Park (大湖公園), Huzhou (葫洲), Donghu (東湖) and Nangang Software Park (南港軟體園區) stations.

The rides will not include access from the city center.
