Smoking, eating, drinking or gum chewing are strictly prohibited on all MRT trains.

Taipei has a huge fleet of taxis. Charges are NT$70 for the first 1.5 km and NT$5 for each additional 300 meters. An additional NT$5 is charged for every two minutes of waiting, and a NT$20 charge is added to fares between 11 pm and 6am. Tips are not required.
