On an iPhone, turn on Express Transit. Card fares don't earn Frequent Rider rewards. An EasyCard from any station or convenience store still works. - **Nothing to eat or drink on the metro:** Eating, drinking (water included) and gum are banned, with fines of NT$1,500 to NT$7,500. With low blood sugar or medication, tell station staff first. Finish your shake before you go in. - **Tap water:** The Taipei Water Department says it meets international standards, but locals often boil or filter it because of old building tanks and pipes. Use your hotel's filtered water if offered. - **Carry your rubbish:** Public bins are rare; residents hand trash to garbage trucks that play Für Elise. Keep a bag for gel wrappers. - **No tipping:** Tipping isn't expected. Many restaurants and hotels add a 10% service charge instead. - **Taxis and rides:** Taxis are metered from NT$85 for the first 1.25 km, with a NT$20 surcharge from 23:00 to 06:00. Carry your hotel's address in traditional Chinese. Uber also operates legally in Taipei. - **Bring cash:** Cards work at most hotels, but Lao Shan Dong, Huang Chi and many cheap eats are cash only. - **March weather:** Highs average about 23°C (73°F) and lows about 16°C (61°F). It rains on about 14 days in March and humidity averages 76%, so pack a rain shell and drink more than you think. ### Race-day tips for this venue - **Go to Hall 1.** Hall 2 is next door at No. 2 Jingmao 2nd Rd., so check the number before you walk in. - **Bring photo ID.** You need it to check in, and nobody can check in for you. Check-in times were still TBC as of 15 October 2026. - **Arrive early through spectator check-in.** On your race day you can enter before your check-in window by scanning your athlete ticket QR code there. - **Get a spectator ticket for other days.** Your wristband only works on your own race day, and friends need spectator tickets too. - **Check your start time.** They come out about three days before and can't be changed. Last waves go around 20:10 Friday and Sunday, 20:20 Saturday. ### FAQ ### How do I get from Taoyuan Airport to HYROX Taipei?
