| Content | To cope with the general public’s needs to return to their hometown in advance for the New Year's Day Vacation, the Taipei Motor Vehicles Office has coordinated with the bus companies to equip the vehicles and drivers so that passengers can arrive at their destination safely. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, most bus routes have been reduced. To prevent your schedule from being affected, before leaving home, please check information regarding highway bus and city bus routes via iBus. Besides, to ensure the public transportation vehicles are clean and tidy with pandemic prevention measures put into practice, the Taipei Motor Vehicles Office, Yilan Motor Vehicles Office and Hualian Motor Vehicles Office maintain supervision of the bus companies and drivers at each bus station periodically for station and bus sterilization and other pandemic prevention measures. During this New Year's Day Vacation (from 0:00 Dec. 30 2022 to 24:00 Jan. 2 2023), there is the usual long holiday discount for freeway buses. When taking public transportation during the pandemic, please have your hands sterilized right after getting on and change your clothes immediately after returning home to reduce the risk of infection. Taking public transportation during off-peak hours is highly recommended for the elderly, passengers with chronic diseases or upper respiratory tract infection and babies not able to wear masks properly. If they need to take public transportation, babies not able to wear masks properly should prevent droplet contamination by using strollers or baby carriers with shields. Please take the initiative to maintain social distancing when encountering babies unable to wear masks properly. To prevent pandemic spread and protect everyone’s health, it is a fundamental requirement to wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, keep your respiratory tract sanitized, practice proper coughing etiquette, maintain proper social distancing and rest at home when recovering from illness. |
