Taiwan High Speed Rail opened a new passageway on 12 p.m. Tuesday for passengers, in a move to ease passenger congestion. With more and more travelers opting for the high speed rail for long-distance train travels, and Taipei being a main stop but having the narrowest walkways, the opening comes as a great relief. Better yet, it’s right by Train Car 10, one of three train cars for unreserved passengers. Let’s find out more.

The THSR’s East Exit at Taipei Main Station used to only have these three fare gates. In order to ease passenger congestion, three new fare gates will be in service staring at 12 p.m. on June 30. This will allow passengers on unreserved train cars to exit faster.

It’s really convenient. I had just gotten off and now I’m up here.

There weren’t these the last time I was here. I only found out today when it opened. It wasn’t like this when I took the HSR last month.
THSR also published a short video on the opening day, showing the directions and featuring Transportation Minister Chen Shih-kai, THSR Chair Shih Che and Taiwan Railway Corporation Chair James Jeng. According to THSR, the new passageway is expected to accommodate at least a quarter of passengers on each trip, making for about 10,000 passengers a day.
