  • Typhoon Bawe is approaching Taiwan, prompting the suspension of operations for the Tamsui and San-Tsai lines of the New Taipei Metro.
  • The San-Tsai line's operational status is depicted in an image provided by New Taipei Metro.
  • Authorities urge the public to avoid mountainous and coastal areas and to stay informed about disaster prevention information.

Typhoon Bawe is set to impact Taiwan, leading New Taipei Metro to suspend operations on its Tamsui and San-Tsai lines due to wind speeds reaching the threshold for service stoppage. The Circular Line and Ankeng Light Rail will adjust their service frequency based on passenger volume and wind conditions. Operations on elevated and at-grade sections may also be halted if wind speeds become excessive.

The New Taipei City government is advising the public to refrain from visiting mountainous areas, bodies of water, and the coast for sightseeing during the typhoon. Citizens are also cautioned to be aware of falling trees and debris and to comply with any traffic control measures. For the latest disaster prevention information, residents can consult "My New Taipei" on Facebook, the "New Taipei City Government" on LINE, or the "New Taipei Disaster Information E-Tong" website.
