>They are also fast, like you don’t even have to break your strike while passing the turnstiles to enter the metro. They are not slow, but it's faster in Japan, still. At least in the Taipei MRT. The Taoyuan Metro is way worse, though. If you keep walking while going through the gate and the card doesn't scan fast enough, it'll error and tell you to step back outside of the gate area (the in-between part) and scan again. It slows traffic down quite a bit.
