8. On December 1, 2010, a pilot project to extend the EasyCard "deduction from deposit when disposable value is insufficient" function to park-and-ride lots managed by TRTC was launched. The maximum deduction is NT$60. This service is intended to provide greater convenience to the public who will be able to use their EasyCard to access TRTC park-and-ride facilities even if their disposable value is insufficient (max. shortfall NT$60).
Currently, there are 21 metro park-and-ride parking lots at which EasyCard can be used. When using EasyCard to enter the parking lot, your EasyCard must have a disposable value greater than NT$0. When leaving the parking lot, if the disposable value is not sufficient to cover the parking fee, and if the shortfall is less than NT$60, the amount will be made up from the deposit. If the shortfall is more than NT$60, then you will have to add value to the EasyCard before exiting the parking lot.
