Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation ─ Metro Service

To accommodate the New Year's Eve celebration at Taipei City Hall Plaza on December 31, 2025, Taipei Metro will be providing continuous service over a 42-hour period—from 06:00 on December 31, 2025, through 00:00 (midnight) on January 1, 2026 (excluding the Xiaobitan and Xinbeitou branches). The Bannan Line and Tamsui-Xinyi Line will operate at peak frequency starting at 17:00 on December 31, 2025 to ensure maximum transit efficiency. Maokong Gondola will extend its hours until 02:00 on January 1, 2026, or until crowds have fully dispersed.

Last year's special discount on the Songshan-Xindian Line will continue into this year. To facilitate crowd dispersal after the Taipei Dome concert and the countdown, from 22:30 on December 31, 2025, to 06:00 on January 1, 2026, passengers entering from Nanjing Sanmin Station or Taipei Arena Station will enjoy their ride for free, regardless of the number of stations traveled.

At Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall Station, special crowd control measures will be in place. Concert attendees will be directed to enter via Exit 5, while New Year’s Eve partygoers are to exit through Exits 2, 3, and 4. Please follow on-site staff instructions for safety.

Starting December 24, 2025, the Go! Taipei Metro app will launch a new "Quick Info Access" feature under its AI Smart Customer Service, enabling passengers to quickly check route statuses, network maps, timetables, and first/last train times. QR codes on New Year's Eve posters promoting the "2 Lines In, 3 Lines Out" strategy can also be scanned for real-time updates.

Passengers are advised to top up electronic tickets or purchase single-journey tickets in advance to speed up entry and exit.

● 2 Lines In, 3 Lines Out—Enjoy a Smooth New Year's Eve

For arrival, use the Bannan Line and Tamsui-Xinyi Line ("2 Lines In"). For departure, choose among the Bannan Line, Tamsui-Xinyi Line, and Songshan-Xindian Line ("3 Lines Out") to avoid congestion at Taipei City Hall Station or Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station. Recommended stations include Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall Station, Yongchun Station, Xinyi Anhe Station, Xiangshan Station, Taipei Arena Station, and Nanjing Sanmin Station.

If you plan to watch fireworks near Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station, please take appropriate safety precautions.

● After the Countdown, Take the Green Line—Connect to Brown, Red, Orange, or Blue Lines

Based on past experience, queues for the Bannan and Tamsui-Xinyi Lines can be long after the event. As an alternative, walk about 20 minutes from Taipei City Hall Station or Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall Station to Nanjing Sanmin Station or Taipei Arena Station, or take the shuttle bus on Guangfu South Road to the Songshan-Xindian Line.

● Songshan-Xindian Line Special Offer

To encourage walking and use of the Songshan-Xindian Line, from 22:30 on December 31, 2025, to 06:00 on January 1, 2026, passengers entering Nanjing Sanmin Station or Taipei Arena Station with an electronic ticket will enjoy free rides for that trip. Passengers without electronic tickets can claim a free single-journey ticket at dedicated service counters near ticket machines at these stations. Please follow staff instructions and avoid pushing to ensure safety.

● Taipei Dome Concert Crowd Control at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall Station

To manage crowds after the Taipei Dome concert and for the New Year's Eve party, concert attendees will enter via Exit 5, while partygoers will exit via Exits 2, 3, and 4. Bannan Line trains will operate at peak frequency. Skip-stop operations may be activated for trains heading toward Nangang Exhibition Center Station based on crowd conditions, and empty trains may be dispatched in the direction of Dingpu Station to pick up passengers at Taipei City Hall Station or Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall Stations.

For safety reasons, starting at 22:00 on December 31, 2025, Far Eastern Group will be closing the escalator outside Exit 5, the garden corridor, and the underground mall passage. Exit 3 will be closed starting 00:00 (midnight) on January 1, 2026.

Passengers are encouraged to use the Go! Taipei Metro app to plan trips in advance and check real-time crowd and route information before traveling.
