Practical Information for TRA Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on regional TRA and Taipei Metro services. Rules differ between TRA intercity trains and Taipei Metro; below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard regional or commuter services:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring standard carry-on items and small suitcases. For regional TRA services, typical limits allow two pieces within standard size and weight norms; oversized items should be checked with the operator before travel.

Storage Facilities

TRA regional trains have overhead racks and limited luggage areas at carriage ends for larger suitcases. Taipei Metro cars provide overhead racks for small items and space near doors for luggage during off-peak times.

Special Items

For bicycles, musical instruments, or sports equipment, check operator rules in advance. Some TRA services require prior notification or use of dedicated storage; metro policies vary and may restrict large items during peak periods.
