Since watching Kenneth's trip to Taiwan; I realized that the people of Taiwan are composed and patient. Observe how everyone calmly waits for the next train. It's like clock work; no pushing; screaming; or fighting. It just comes to show how efficient anything can be once everyone cooperates and works together.

[@willyvonfalknerheim4128]

can they just use 321 mrt

[@rizky28374]

the arriving song just makes each train look “cool” lol

[@raysmith1583]

Man this is huge, the design of this station is amazing

[@streetsofasia8895]

Agreed!

[@davidellis5141]

Known worldwide for his good manners The Action Kid will fully cooperate with the rules. No complaints.

[@ALWH1314]

Stand on the right and pass on the left on escalator, impressed that everybody follows. Also noticed no drinking or eating, very clean.

[@YEETMAN-dt9mb]

You get fined if you eat drink smoke or chew gum within the metro system

[@JohnnyStrides]

I saw this when I was there too! It's amazing how orderly they are. Taiwan and Japan are the only countries where I've seen it on this level. It must make a busy commute far more tolerable.

[@palapie]

That's somehow a problem for us... I remember how scared and annoyed I was when taking public transport in France and Italy... weird people (homeless or immigrants I don't know), dangerous or annoying teens, unreliable time tables... but still I have to act normal to prevent looking like a tourist. I've been to the USA once, but I remember everything to be big, new, clean, and fresh.

[@beaugarrett6751]

i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.

[@carmelobenicio139]

@Beau Garrett Instablaster :)

[@beaugarrett6751]

@Carmelo Benicio I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@beaugarrett6751]

@Carmelo Benicio it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account :D

[@Mochilachapina]

Although there are too many people, there is order in the station.

[@michaelmorales1475]

Also, kinda cool seeing a train station in a mall.

[@streetsofasia8895]

Yeah it is cool

[@streetsofasia8895]

Hi ActionKid, is it any wonder why your channel of KZbin has managed to grow to such high success levels? No, my friend, it is no wonder. All who watch and witness know instantly the pleasure and perfection quality of your contents.

[@yspan1226]

This station is a busy station located in a busy district in Taipei, thank you, AK, for your great work.

[@Daniel-nq4hc]

ActionKid what you need to do is film the Taipei City hall station like that on New Year's day when the fireworks end. EDIT: It's also better you if stand closer the the down escalator where people will be transferring to the Wenhu line and the platform will be more crowded.

[@cindyturpitz3256]

Great Video

[@samirrami4586]

well done

[@joelfrombethlehem]

Amazing order.

[@streetsofasia8895]

Yeah it is!

[@rayrayz51233]

That's remind me a Future Second Ave Subway will be like that in midtown line 42nd Street type in the palse 3 project on Future T. Train

[@mikioni]

👏👏👏👐 impressive

[@michaelmorales1475]

The trains sound like R160's.

[@Daniel-nq4hc]

The C321 does sound similar.

[@michaelmorales1475]

There used to be guards at 125th Street (Lexington Avenue Line) not sure if they still have them.

[@pamelagriffin3561]

They are i ride that line

[@player3prime]

what's the headway during rush hour compared to off peak? it seemed like a more or less 3min interval. Wonder if you could increase that by 30s. Is there a documentary with English subtitles about the Taipei Metro? I've seen lots from Japan but I find Taiwan more interesting as it's a "hidden gem".

[@michaelglossika131]

This isn't peak rush hour as the platform is only half full with people. I recommend filming around 6pm. Or I could film it.

[@IngaHicks]

The Bx 55 bus in the Bronx had loaders at 149th street to do the same thing, for buses. I think if MTA had the barriers in the train stations, loaders in each station would work. Problem is, it cost money to build them in each station system wide, and that would mean a cost to tax payers, and fares may increase. It probably should have been done a long time ago, when it could have been cheaper to do

[@janelin3012]

Thank you for sharing many videos about MRT. Taipei MRT is the first choice for convenient and fast public transportation, work, travel, and shopping. It has become a part of people's life in Taipei. What is your impression of Taipei MRT? Do you like it?

[@ActionKid]

Yes, the Taipei MRT is awesome!

[@stankormy5717]

Organized!

[@numberIIIv]

Seeing that, there could have been possibly more trains ran to help. I skipped through and found the average frequency was 4 to 5 minutes which can be up to about 2.5 minutes before buckling.

[@YEETMAN-dt9mb]

This wasn’t filmed during full rush hour during rush hour there’s normally trains every 1-2 minutes

[@TechExploresNYC]

A train comes about every 2 minutes, as opposed to random minutes compared to MTA. You see how people stop stuffing into train once it's full? Good luck getting that in NYC

[@garyysu]

Good and keen observation. During rush hours, Taipei MRT train runs every one to three minutes. It is one of the MRT's strategies to calm people down if they know the next train will arrive in 1 to 3 minutes. You can also watch the LCD screen (spaced every 2 - 4 boarding gates at busy stations) to see when the next train will arrive. Every train is tracked by the computer to the exact arrival and departure times at every station according to the designed schedule. Any deviation, with built-in tolerance, from punctuality will be recorded by the computer and flashed at the control center which must take immediate action according to one of the hundreds of SOP's (standard Operating procedure) developed over the years by the Taipei MRT. Elementary schools in Taipei and New Taipei City (all schools in Taiwan actually) also help by teaching young kids the etiquette of queueing up, not taking priority seat, giving up regular seat to those in need, etc.

[@TechExploresNYC]

@@garyysu we have that in NYC too, except the LCD board just says 5 minutes for the last 30 minutes and sometimes just give up and says DELAY. Not to mention our system has signal problems as often as.... Every other day.

[@garyysu]

@Kevin's Tech, and Tours I used to live in NYC for more than 10 years. I don't remember ever checking the LCD screens. I don't even recall seeing the LCD screens. I guess I succumbed to the random arrival of MTA trains. When I lived in Taipei, I never checked the screen during rush hours because I knew the trains would come frequently. Occasionally I would check the screen outside of rush hours to see when the next train would arrive, usually not more than 5 minutes on my regular lines.

[@bctvanw]

Kevin's Tech, and Tours This is Taipei MRT. Taiwan’s Taiwan Railways system has commuter trains. The TR trains delay all the time.

[@lindalim833]

Maybe, it's crazy.

[@NickyD]

meanwhile in nyc everyone is for themselfs and dont let people off first ever nyc subway should be like this but NY"s wouldnt listen for shit

[@ActionKid]

Not everyone is like this in New York

[@chriswlee7181]

There are many pickpockets in Taipei MRT 台北捷運很多扒手，要小心

[@user-ol3oc8sg4g]

The Japanese and the Chinese are form another planet

[@iwish3174]

This subway station people are Taiwanese not Chinese.

[@yspan1226]

The passengers (and the station) you see in the video are Taiwanese in Taipei, Taiwan, not Chinese people in China.

[@ActionKid]

No they’re not, they’re from the Earth.

[@user-ol3oc8sg4g]
