Discover how Taiwan High Speed Rail plans to enhance passenger safety by installing platform doors at all stations by 2028, following recent incidents. Learn about the initiative and its budget of NT$2.52 billion.

The Taiwan Railway Corporation (TRC) is considering installing platform screen doors at rail stations to enhance passenger safety. The pilot program will start at Kaohsiung Station, with plans to expand to other stations based on performance. TRC aims to complete the initiative by December 2024, with measures such as warning lines, lights, and staff deployment to ensure platform safety. Multimedia systems are also used to educate passengers on safety precautions.

Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) will add eight additional train services from Dec. 29 to Jan. 2 and 12 additional train services from Jan. 5 to Jan. 7 to accommodate the anticipated surge in travelers during the New Year holiday. THSR will operate a total of 113 extra services, with 53 heading south and 60 going north. Passengers without reserved seats can access real-time updates on station crowd control indicators on THSR’s official website. The availability of non-reserved seats at each station will also be provided. THSR has urged travelers to make way for those disembarking and to be cautious of the gap between the train doors and the platform. Additional staff will be deployed to ensure smooth operations throughout the holiday period. Tickets for the additional services will go on sale on Saturday (Dec. 16) midnight.
