Scanning issues may occur for the following reasons:
(1) Invalid Ride Code: The Citizen Exclusive Ride Code must be used within 2 minutes of being generated. If it times out, please generate a new code.
(2) QR Code Scan Failed at the Validator: 3. If the fare validation machine does not respond to the QR ride code, adjust the distance, position, or brightness of your mobile device in relation to the scanner (we recommend setting your phone screen to maximum brightness). If the validator still does not respond, please seek assistance from the staff on board.
If the vehicle’s equipment is malfunctioning or there is no validator, it will be handled in accordance with the policies of the respective transportation operator. When presenting the Citizen Exclusive Ride Code, please log in to the Taichung Go App and display the “Citizen Exclusive Ride Code” on your phone.
