A woman who once worked for Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. and her boyfriend will have to pay a total of NT$130,000 (US$4,278) for colluding to ensure the woman did not pay the full fare on two separate trips on the high speed rail from Taipei to Kaohsiung.

The woman, surnamed Liu (劉), spent a total of NT$55 on the trips, but she and her boyfriend, surnamed Kuo (郭), were fined NT$40,000 each in lieu of 40-day confinement by Ciaotou District Court in Kaohsiung.

Coupled with the NT$50,000 the couple already paid Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp, means they will pay a total of NT$130,000.    [FULL  STORY]
