My first trip on Taipei MRT

I took my first trip on the Taipei MRT today. I bought a stored value ticket for NT 500 (SGD 25). The deposit is NT 100 and the stored value is NT 400.

A trip of up to 6 stops cost NT 20 ($1) cash, NT 16 ($0.80) on the stored value card. The train is not crowded. I was able to get a seat on the forward and return journey.

The experience is better than Singapore MRT. Taipei MRT has received the No 1 award for reliability, safety and quality standards.
