## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Which rail systems does this tool cover?
  A: Covers 6 metro/light-rail systems nationwide (Taipei Metro, Maokong Gondola, Taoyuan Metro, Taichung Metro, Kaohsiung MRT, Kaohsiung Light Rail), Taiwan Railway, and Taiwan High Speed Rail — 8 sources of real-time service-disruption notices in total.
- Q: How often are the notices updated?
  A: The system automatically syncs the latest service-disruption and elevator-maintenance schedules published by the Ministry of Transportation's TDX service and Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation every 30 minutes.
- Q: If one system's data is temporarily unavailable, does it affect the others?
  A: No. Each system's data is fetched independently — if one system (e.g. a High Speed Rail request that times out) temporarily fails, only that system shows "no data available" for that cycle; the rest continue displaying their latest notices normally.
- Q: How do I transfer during elevator maintenance?
  A: Taipei Metro's elevator-maintenance notices all include an alternate-entrance suggestion or alternate-station guidance for wheelchair users and passengers with reduced mobility.
