MOTC mulls easing rules on eating onboard trainsBy Shelley Shan / Staff reporterThe Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) is considering easing restrictions on eating and drinking onboard trains, but added that it would continue to enforce key disease prevention measures before the Dragon Boat Festival holiday next month. Minister of Transportation and Communications Lin Chia-lung, left, speaks at a meeting of the Legislative Yuan’s Transportation Committee in Taipei yesterday. The second phase is to subsidize domestic tour groups and individual travelers engaging in such safe tours, Lin said, adding that the budget for this phase is NT$2 billion. “We hope that we can start engaging in epidemic prevention tours before the Dragon Boat Festival holiday and start preparing ourselves for the second phase. When the nation would enter the second phase would depend on how well we implement the first phase, which is to last for one to three months,” he said.
