TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taoyuan Metro reached a significant milestone on Sunday (Dec. 24) as it welcomed its 150 millionth passenger.

In recognition of this achievement, the 150 millionth passenger will receive a monthly pass (TPASS) worth NT$14,400. The prize grants unlimited rides across various forms of public transportation for an entire year.

The TPASS, priced at NT$1,200, encompasses city buses, highway buses, Taipei MRT, Taoyuan MRT, light rail systems, and Taiwan Railways Administration services in Taipei, New Taipei, Keelung, and Taoyuan.
