Practical Information for Regional Train Travelers

Luggage Guidelines on regional and commuter trains. Short urban services have basic rules for carry-on and larger items. Below are key points to know when bringing luggage aboard local and regional services:

Luggage Allowance

Passengers may bring carry-on items and small suitcases on board; operators generally expect luggage to fit in overhead racks or at seat space. Larger items should be managed during off-peak times to avoid blocking aisles.

Storage Facilities

Regional trains and commuter sets provide overhead racks and space near doors for luggage. At Taipei Main Station and major New Taipei stations, dedicated luggage areas and elevators are available for easier handling.

Special Items

For bicycles, large sports gear or musical instruments, check operator rules in advance. Space on commuter trains is limited and some items may require advance notice or specific carriage placement.

Rail services between Taipei and New Taipei provide frequent city-to-city connections with minimal transfers and station access in central urban areas. Buses cover similar corridors but typically take longer due to road traffic and make multiple stops. Flights are not practical for this short intra-metropolitan route and require airport transfers. For door-to-door journeys inside the Taipei metro area, rail remains the faster public transport option.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
