We numerically study a one dimensional quasiperiodic system obtained from two dimensional electrons on the triangular lattice in a uniform magnetic field aided by the multifractal method. The phase diagram consists of three phases: two metallic phases and one insulating phase separated by critical lines with one bicritical point. Novel transitions between the two metallic phases exist. We examine the spectra and the wavefunctions along the critical lines. Several types of level statistics are obtained. Distributions of the band widths $P_B(w)$ near the origin (in the tail) %around the origin (in the tail) have a form $P_B(w) \sim w^{\beta}$ ($P_B(w) \sim e^{-\gamma w}$) ($\beta, \gamma > 0 $), while at the bicritical point $P_B(w) \sim w^{-\beta'}$ ($\beta'>0$). Also distributions of the level spacings follow an inverse power law $P_G(s) \sim s^{- \delta}$ ($\delta > 0$). For the wavefunctions at the centers of spectra, scaling exponents and their distribution in terms of the $\alpha$-$f(\alpha)$-curve are obtained. The results in the vicinity of critical points are consistent with the phase diagram.
