Taiwan High Speed Rail boosts capacity for holiday travel
What happened
Bob Chen became president of Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications is coordinating with Taiwan Railway Corp and THSRC to increase transport capacity for the Double Ten National Day holiday. To manage crowding, eight trains between Taipei or Nangang and Taichung will feature eight carriages designated for non-reserved seating during rush hour.

Why it matters
The Ministry is taking measures to cushion ride conditions as THSRC sold 80 percent of its reserved seat tickets for the holiday, which is 10 percent more than the Mid-Autumn Festival. This coordination aims to manage high demand and seating pressure during peak travel times.
