Ticket fraud was the most frequently committed offense on the Taipei MRT, followed by fare jumping, and eating and drinking.
Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation (TRTC) said the organization relies on its workers to ferret out fraudsters. When holders of cards for seniors or the disabled pass through the turnstile, the yellow light goes on, and station workers keep an eye out.
Sometimes seniors who have aged very well make it hard for staff to determine how old they may be.
TRTC uncovers about 2,800 rule violations each year, with fines totaling about NT$3.7 million. On average, there are three ticket fraud cases, two fare jumpers, and two cases of eating and drinking per day.
友善讓你懂｜解說：
捷運是台北人不可或缺的交通工具，北捷也是全世界最便利、最乾淨也最可負擔的捷運系統之一。不過，還是很多人為了貪小便宜，冒用優待票，這也成為北捷近年來最常發生的旅客違規事件。排名第二的違規事件為逃票，第三則是飲食。
台北捷運公司指出，要揪出冒用優待票的乘客，全靠站務人員的好眼力；若是用優待票刷入閘門，就會亮黃燈，站務人員就會格外注意進出人士。
有時候這也難免失誤，有些人儘管年紀已達優待年齡，卻長得格外年輕，也讓站務人員常常搞不清楚。
每年北捷共有約2800件違規，罰款高達370萬新台幣，每日平均有3件冒用優待票、兩件逃票與兩件飲食的違規。
