The first run of the New Taroko Hello Kitty painted train took place on March 21. After departing from Shulin Station, it successfully arrived in Taitung. Aside from the train’s exterior attracting fans’ attention, the interior and surrounding facilities—including anything featuring Hello Kitty, such as the train conductor design—became a focus for enthusiasts. After the inaugural run, Taiwan Railways discovered that some seat headscarves were missing. Originally, the seats were uniformly decorated with these headscarves, but afterward, many were found without the Hello Kitty scarves, making them look noticeably less vibrant.

The train has a total of 376 seats, and as many as 328 seat headscarves were lost, resulting in a loss of over ten thousand Taiwan dollars. Taiwan Railways urged passengers not to take onboard supplies off the train just because of personal preference or for souvenirs. Many netizens expressed disbelief upon hearing the news, believing that the public spirit of citizens needs further improvement.
