Umbrella jams train door at Taipei Metro's Zhongshan Station

Aug 20, 2026

A five-minute door failure on Taipei's Red Line briefly disrupted morning service, a minor inconvenience for riders that was cleared quickly.

  • A passenger's umbrella got wedged in a train door at Zhongshan Station, stopping it from closing.
  • The train, heading toward Xiangshan on the Tamsui-Xinyi line, was held up for five minutes late on a Friday morning.
  • Everyone on board was moved off and put on the next train, which arrived a minute later.
  • Control staff followed standard procedure and service returned to normal.

Outlook: No lasting impact on the network, though it is a reminder of how easily one item can hold up a busy line.
