The Taipei City Department of Transportation will announce the implementation date of the free 30-minute YouBike rental policy after the 2024 budget is passed. The policy aims to reduce carbon emissions by 40% and increase the use of green transportation to 70% by 2030. It was previously implemented in 2012 but ended in 2015. A public opinion poll in 2023 showed support for the policy among motorcyclists and the YouBike community, with over 60% of motorcyclists willing to switch to using YouBike for short trips. To address potential bike shortages, the department has added 1,780 bikes in May and 1,500 bikes in December 2023, increasing the availability of bikes citywide from 80% to 90%. In 2024, the department plans to add another 6,000 YouBikes and improve scheduling and personnel to meet the increased demand.

The Taoyuan City Department of Transportation will upgrade the YouBike public bicycle system to YouBike 2.0. Construction will begin in November 2021 and the system is expected to be fully operational by the first half of 2024. Currently, Taoyuan operates 416 sites with 13,450 bikes in circulation, and the system has been used over 72 million times. The upgrade will start in Guishan District, near New Taipei’s Linkou District, and a ＂dual system＂ operation will be adopted during the conversion period from 2024 to 2025. The 1.0 system will be decommissioned by the end of 2025.
