Sick bags are being provided at various hotspots ahead of the Lunar New Year season in anticipation of partygoers overindulging in alcohol at their year-end celebrations.
A few glasses of wine at your company’s Lunar New Year party are to be expected, but making a mess on the floor or in the carriage of Taipei’s world class metro is not. As the year of the snake approaches, MRT passengers have discovered sick bags have been set up at some stations, especially those located near popular restaurants.
MRT passengers commented that the service will help to ensure public transport remains clean and comfortable, as no one likes to come across a puddle of vomit on the ground.
Stations currently providing sick bags include the Taipei Main, Zhongshan, Nangang Exhibition Center, Xuhui High School, and Jianan Road Stations. Those in need can also directly obtain them from station information desks. Taipei Metro explained that the service will remain available until the holiday party season has passed.
