is this still true???? https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3838895 Can ppl from away essentially not use YouBike anymore unless they have a credit card?
Taiwan News
Change to YouBike rental policy criticized for excluding foreigners, dampening tourism.Expats in Taiwan are in a fury for being excluded from renting YouBikes with their countless smartcard EasyCard, saying it constitutes discrimination against foreigners in the country.
my YouBike experience was like the shining example of Taipei’s superiority over my city, which has a terribly inaccessible and restrictive bikeshare system. YouBike made so many of my very best experiences possible, and it is so sad if visitors can no longer use it unless they have a credit card 😞 (i don’t)
haha oh man, i’m getting nostalgic for my YouBike adventures 🤩 ✨
I think the problem is due to the insurance policy, and ministry of traffic had fixed that
I am afraid this is still true, due to the mandatory insurance plan.
Shortly after the news, Taipei city government announced that they modified their system so that people with resident certificates can also register youbike members.

thanks for the context! I’ve been using Taipei as an example of a place with a very inclusive bikeshare policy. In Toronto, the requirement for credit cards means many people can’t use the bikes easily, which mean less mobility for those who need it most.
But on further consideration, since it’s just foreigners affected, Taipei is still _much_ more accessible to its locals than Toronto is, and that’s the most important thing. Most foreigner probably have good credit 🙂

I'm thinking there are maybe some people here and there doing things for Myanmar people but there is no public place to discuss about them, so I created a #myanmar channel

I was on a call (about international fiscal sponsorship of nonprofit projects), and heard that traditional institutions are having to pause work in #myanmar due to legal constraints on nonprofit work 😞
Makes me think it's all the more important for looser and messier grassroots connections ❤️
