The frame X다가 Y다가 하다 means switching repeatedly between two things, and four of these lines use it: 잡혔다가 안 잡혔다가 합니다 "sometimes it catches, sometimes it doesn't", 타셨다가 내리셨다가 하면 됩니다 "just get on and off as you please", 했다가 실패했다가 "trying and failing, over and over". The pair is usually opposites, or an action and its undoing. On its own, -다가 simply means breaking off one thing to do another.
