Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation ─ Metro Service

Note: As trains may sway during movement, it is normal to have a gap between train and platform edge. Passengers should take care of the gap to avoid getting caught in the gap and hurting themselves. Wheelchair users are advised to enter the car backwards to prevent wheels becoming trapped.

Location: Along the platform edge.

Note: Do not cross the Yellow Warning Strip at the platform edge until the train has come to a complete stop.

Location: Two Emergency Stop Buttons are placed at one-third intervals along platforms at high-capacity stations equipped with half-height platform doors.

Use: Press the Emergency Stop Button if someone walks or falls onto the tracks or gets stuck in the platform gap. This will prevent trains from arriving at or departing from the station.

Note: Improper use of the Emergency Stop Button will incur a fine of NT$50,000.
