KAOHSIUNG — A foreign passenger filmed urinating onto seats inside a Kaohsiung MRT train has been issued a violation notice, with the operator attributing the incident to apparent drunken behavior. TVBS and Liberty Times report that MRT staff intervened and issued a violation notice (告發單), but neither news report said police arrested him or took him into custody.
Footage posted on Threads showed a man urinating in front of an unoccupied seating area. Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corp. (高雄捷運公司) said it immediately dispatched staff after receiving a passenger report, according to Liberty Times. His nationality was not disclosed.
WARNING: Threads video is graphic.
The operator said the passenger faces a fine of NT$1,500 to NT$7,500 under the Mass Rapid Transit Act (大眾捷運法) and could be banned from using the MRT. No final fine amount was announced. Staff completed emergency cleaning, with further cleaning and disinfection planned once the train was taken out of service.
