The voting day for the local elections on November 28 is approaching. The Ministry of Transport stated today (12th) that the flow of people returning home is expected to begin in the afternoon of the 27th, and the peak return journey will be on the 29th. Due to the characteristics of concentrated time and clear directions for returning home due to the election, the demand for popular trains and flights is relatively concentrated. Transportation Minister Chen Shikai said that all transportation units have been required to make preparations in advance, and through "joint prevention of transportation vehicles" and flexible flight adjustments, voters will have more choices when returning home.

The Ministry of Transportation explained that in terms of transportation on the island, 718 high-speed rail trains are planned during the transportation period, including 40 overtime trains; the Taiwan Railways will simultaneously operate 70 additional trains, covering the western, eastern and southern circuit lines, and national highway passenger transport can also transport approximately 155,000 passengers per day.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, there are still seats available on Taiwan Railways and national highway passenger trains. Passengers traveling to and from Hsinchu, Taichung, Yilan and the eastern region can choose different means of transportation according to their itinerary to avoid popular trains and peak waiting times.

As for outlying islands, after two waves of overtime adjustments, the airline has planned 978 flights and nearly 70,000 seats. The Civil Aviation Administration of China will continue to monitor the booking and waiting requirements of each route, and coordinate with airlines to operate additional flights in a timely manner based on capacity and crew scheduling. In terms of shipping, there are still vacancies on routes from Keelung to Matsu and Kaohsiung to Magong. Penghu Cruises also plans to increase its sailings to provide people on outlying islands with more options for returning home.

The Ministry of Transport stated that in the face of concentrated travel demand during the election period, the Ministry of Transport will continue to monitor reservations, station crowds and actual transport volume, flexibly adjust flights according to demand, and strengthen cross-vehicle coordination. It also reminds the public to check transportation information in advance, flexibly arrange departure times, and make good use of different transport vehicles to make returning home to vote and return transportation smoother.
