💡 在地老饕避坑 Tips
- You cannot ride YouBike 1.0 (orange bikes) and return them to YouBike 2.0 (white/yellow) docks. They are incompatible!
- Credit card single rental might place a temporary hold (around NT$3000) which will be refunded in a few days.
- Avoid renting during morning/evening rush hours (8-9 AM, 6-7 PM) near MRT stations, as bikes run out fast!
