Monday that all journeys on the airport mass rapid transit (MRT) line between Taipei, New Taipei and Taoyuan will be reduced by NT$10 (US$0.3) from October.
The service, which started in March 2017, has made a profit, said Taoyuan Mayor Cheng Wen-tsan (鄭文燦) during a city council session, adding that the company now wants to give back to its customers.
TMC added that the price cut will be introduced on Oct. 1 and is likely to boost ridership as previous promotional campaigns have seen a positive response.
Existing campaigns, including 20 percent off for Taoyuan citizens and transfer discounts, will continue, it said. [FULL STORY]
