Lines snaked around Taipei Main Station on Thursday morning as prospective
passengers waited for their turn to board the long-anticipated 51-km metro linking Taiwan
Taoyuan International Airport to Taipei. Thursday was the first day of the Airport MRT’s
public trial run and passengers were offered free rides. The line will begin full operations
on March 2. Outbound travelers can now check their luggage and obtain seating
assignments and boarding passes at the station three hours before their flights’ scheduled
departure. Travelers are reminded to leave only after they are assured that their luggage
has passed security checks. Otherwise, air carriers, out of flight safety considerations, will
not transport the luggage to the airport.
