TRA mulls permanent station lobby sitting banNOT DISCRIMINATION: The TRA said that it is not targeting Muslims with the ban, but many migrant workers celebrate Eid al-Fitr in the Taipei Railway Station main hallBy Shelley Shan / Staff ReporterThe nation’s largest railway operator yesterday said it is considering making permanent a ban on people sitting on the floor in the main hall of the Taipei Railway Station. During the festival, people often meet inside and around Taipei Railway Station to talk and eat together. The main hall at Taipei Railway Station is pictured on Feb. 29. If migrant workers want to meet and celebrate Eid al-Fitr, they can still gather outside the station, it said. The Expatriate Care Association is to station translators at the Railway Police Bureau’s office to assist in communicating with migrant workers, the TRA added.
