The New Taipei City Government Transportation Department completes the upgrade of YouBike 1.0 stations to 2.0 in Tamsui, Xindian, and Xizhi districts. The city aims to finish the citywide upgrade by October 2024, integrating public bicycle resources in the Taipei-Taipei-Taoyuan area.

Former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je, now chairman of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), discusses the new policy of free YouBike use for 30 minutes, emphasizing the need for policy discourse. Taipei City Government’s Department of Transportation announced the change effective Feb. 28. Ko highlights the shift from completely free to charging NT$5 due to recreational rather than commuting use. He stresses the original purpose of YouBike for transportation, not leisure. Ko dismisses DPP’s criticism of TPP as a ＂parasite＂ in parliament as aggressive and unworthy of attention.

Get ready for the 2023 New Taipei City Christmasland, featuring a star-studded concert at the New Taipei City Civic Plaza on Dec. 9 and 10. To handle the expected crowds, the New Taipei City Government has implemented traffic controls around the venue, including increased enforcement of parking violations and towing actions. To avoid congestion, the public is encouraged to use public transportation, with the Transportation Department recommending residents from Hsin Chuang, Zhonghe, Yonghe, and Hsintien districts to take the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Circular Line to Banqiao station. Visitors from other counties and cities can opt for the Taiwan Railway, Taiwan High Speed Rail, or Intercity Bus to reach the Banqiao Bus Station.

New Taipei City’s Department of Transportation is actively working to improve over 150 sections of yellow-line parking by February 2024, in response to a provisional ordinance by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) that acknowledged the scarcity of temporary parking spaces in metropolitan areas. The department has already completed over 60 conversions from red to yellow lines, prioritizing areas near MRT stations, hospitals, schools, taxi infraction hotspots, and areas with high temporary parking demands. These adjustments are carefully implemented to ensure a minimum lane width of 5 meters and avoid prohibited areas. Yellow-lined streets have a no-parking window from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., allowing only for quick drop-offs, pick-ups, or loading. The MOTC requires that every 100 to 150-meter stretch of red-line roadside have at least 10% allocated for temporary parking. Until these provisions are met, parking violators will face fines ranging from NT$300 to NT$600.

The construction of the Sanying Line, a metro line connecting Sanxia and Yingge in New Taipei City, is progressing smoothly, with an overall completion rate of 70%.
