TAIPEI (Taiwan News)—Encouraged by last year’s success, Taipei’s Department of Transportation (DOT) has decided to prolong the “Bike Commuters’ Day” free coffee campaign to encourage the use of bikes for transportation and extend the number of the coffee stations across the city to 15.

Individuals who ride a bicycle to the 15 designated locations across the city between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on Friday (from now on until December 28 this year) will be able to enjoy free a cup of coffee and snacks, the DOT said.

According to the DOT, it has teamed up with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to offer 35 reusable cups as free gifts at each stall.
