- I show you how to ride the Taipei Metro (MRT). I cover the system map, popular stations for tourist sites, how to plan your trip, fare information, the 30 day TPASS, escalator etiquette, metro announcements, and transferring trains. The departure time of the Taipei Metro's first and last trains are at 6:00 AM and 12:00 AM respectively and each route is labeled by color.

Thanks!
No problem! Thank you for the support!
It was nice of the young guy who wanted to help you. I enjoyed your polite conversation with him.
Thanks! He was so friendly
What an excellent system, clean, efficient, I like the lines for queuing , 😮
You always go extra miles in creating well-thought-out public transportation videos, even during your travels, and this is impressive! 🏆👍 This video is so detailed, and it will be very useful whenever I decide to travel to Taipei one day. It was cool hearing your conversation with the commuter, who's a foreigner but has been living in Taiwan for 5 years. 😎 Thank you for sharing this informative, detailed, and dedicated MRT video, AK! 🤗⭐
Can't wait to visit Taipei in May! Looking forward to frequently use the MRT!
Awesome, hope you found this video useful for your future trip!
Best transit system on the planet.
Super awesome and valuable video Ken!! Very helpful!! So well done!! I enjoyed this so much!! Stay well! Cheers!
Hi Ken, Thank you for sharing this. It was an informative vlog. The stations seems very organised and the people appears disciplined. This station reminds me a bit of the large stations in Manhattan
The ActionKid masters public transportation wherever he travels. These video's are educational & essential for one visiting Taipei. Thank You ActionKid 😊 ! 🐼
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
These tips and advices are essential for anyone who travels in Taiwan or any other country and destination 😎Therefore i appreciate any given advices and tips that you’re providing 🙂Thank you for sharing this educational ,informative , enjoyable and relaxing video A K🙂👍!!!
You're welcome, I really appreciate it!
Wow! They have some great transportation in Taiwan 🇹🇼
Helped me easily understand the metro. Thank you!
Truly amazing step-by-step approach to use the MRT subway in Taipei, with so many lines but the name of the station 🚉 will give you a sense of direction...usually the fares are not too expensive hence no credit cards are allowed, just like other Asian countries....the toilets facilities within the stations are useful.... thanks AK for sharing this vblog with us 🎉😅
Thank you so much!
Metro map Thank you for your complete explanation
You're welcome!
Ken, Taipei stations are so clean looking and I noticed the people there are sharply dressed compared to people in the states. Your adventures are amazing. Thank you so much Mr. K for all the work you do. Do they have cool record stores there?😊
@dannysvinylrainbow4852, I honestly _don't_ see any difference in clothing at all.
@@Neville60001 yeah that's what I see I guess we all have certain ways of looking at different clothing. I look at the kids here in America, especially Texas where I live you can go on a weekend to any mall and see most of the teenagers wearing shorts and long T-shirts looking like rags and I see the younger crowd in Taipei wearing nice jeans and expensive jackets and backpacks. It really sets the look.
@@dannysvinylrainbow4852, it may shock you to know that not everybody wants to be expensively dressed up all of the time, especially teenager. Again, from what I saw in the video, I didn't see any real difference between people in Taiwan and people in the United States or here in Canada, clothing-wise. I sure as hell _don't_ want to see anybody dressed up like the kids in the movie _Starship Troopers_ that's for sure, with *_everything_* looking like it came out of the Sears catalog.
@@Neville60001 no I'm not shocked it's not that big of a deal, just made a comment
Needed this thanks!
Very informative 👍
Hi AK! I really enjoy watching ALL of your videos! This young man that you were speaking with is the 1st black person thT i have seen through out all of your Taiwan videos. I take it the black population is very small there. Just curious. Keep up the GREAT WORK! 👍🏾
Everything is so clean and nice why oh why can’t we have that here
What a civilized, well-thought out transportation system! Puts the US to shame! Thanks for the overview, Ken! 👏🏻👏🏻
It puts _New York's_ system to shame; many other American cities have clean subway systems.
14:13 Here is my answer. No credit/debit card for single tickets. But in the airport, you can pay the express train with a contactless card, i tought that also in the city you can pay with that method.
Hi, your video is very helpful, thank you. I have a question if I do not use all Tpass or Easy card, where can I cash out the remaining balance?
The US could learn from Taipei, the US metro (NY and Wash, DC) are filthy stations and people get pushed off many times onto the tracks, it is just ignored by the news media. I didn't see gate jumpers in Taipei which we have a lot of at our Metros and try and ask a Metro cop for help and those ignorant a-holes won't help you. I have ridden my last metro besides in my car is safer.
Do you know if the pass of 24hs can i use it with the train to the airport (TPE)? or with that purple line i can`t. Thanks in advance

Where are the homeless and vagrants that you see in the U.S. subway? No graffiti or litter either? What are they doing wrong?
@@eta2380 😂😂😂😂😂
Masa ya gk ada orang indo nya... video bener sekarang apa tahun berapa
Ignore this comment as this is a personal msg for someone
I dont know about other people but I would never want a guy who would tell me he loves me and then the next day kill me just to steal the crown.
The answer is plain and simple, he doesn't love you.
All the masks 😂😂😂
People in Taiwan have wore masks for many many years. This was something done way before Covid. In part due to air pollution, some others wish to not get others sick if they aren't feeling well and of course avoiding flu and other things like Covid.
To prevent talking to disrespectful foreigners!
