TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taipei Metro is combining transportation and leisure by lending spots for stores, including 11 claw machine stores rented across Taipei stations.
Metro users have polarized opinions about these, however. Some think the machines are distracting children, others argue that it is the perfect time killer when waiting for someone.
The Taipei Metro ensures citizens the stores are all in line with regulations and are 50m away from schools.
In addition to claw machines, Taipei Metro also attracts many pop-up shops selling food and snacks at the stations with the most traffic.
