A short dystopian story located in Taiwan.

Imagine everything came at a price. Even to the point of paying for transport but not with money, no that would be too easy. To ride, you've got to kiss and your kiss will determine how much it will cost, whether you will get any benefits or not. If you refuse, you will be stranded with no transport, having to queue up again. Worse punishments await. 

Author notes: I was inspired by a sign I saw in Kaohsiung train station when I was travelling around Taiwan which is how this story came along. The sign has a totally different meaning but it's a funner way to interpret it.
