What do you think the impact on people in Beitou of “motorcycle courier service" is?

I think “motorcycle courier service " is a very special business. Probably when in 1969, this business was prosperity the most, because Beitou area is the topography of mountain area. Guests to the hotel take train to Beitou railway station in the past, and then phoned to ask “motorcycle courier service “to carry them to the hotel. A lot of hotel attendants put up “motorcycle courier services “, too. Now, salaries who don’t have enough time to take the bus, will phone to ask " motorcycle courier service " to take them to go to work. Some mother buying too many things, some children get up too late, they all will ask "  motorcycle courier service" to help.

What do you think the future development of motorcycle courier service is?

The "motorcycle courier service” has already declined since the prosperity in early years, there are very great changes. The staffs of this service are all old, the youngest is more than 40 years old. I have a friend begun to be engaged in this job since 20s', he has already done for 20 years too. Seem with present situation, the motorcycle courier service may eliminate.

Do you think the “motorcycle courier service “can become the characteristic of Beitou?

People will climb mountains or take a walk to discover the customs and characteristic of Beitou now. Some people are curious about this service and they will go to try the motorcycle courier service, but this industry can't make money only by curiosity.

What do you think the impact on people in Beitou of “motorcycle courier service" is?
