With more than 65 routes throughout Taiwan, “Taiwan Tourist Shuttle” buses provide connections from major domestic high-speed rail, Taiwan Railways Administration, MRT and highway stations to important sightseeing spots, saving visitors time and money.
Multiple payment methods are available, and some routes offer accessibility friendly schedules, electronic audio guides and various value packages, making Taiwan Tourist Shuttle the best partner for domestic and foreign tourists traveling in Taiwan.
To promote migrant workers to travel in Taiwan, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications last year partnered with the Employment Service Association to organize a one-day tour for migrant workers on the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle’s Douliu Gukeng route to visit popular scenic spots, such as Taiping Old Street, Yunzhong Street Cultural and Creative Cluster, and Janfusun Fancyworld in Yunlin County.
The 15 tour participants were from the Philippines and Indonesia, all of whom have been working in Taiwan for many years. The event offered them the opportunity to experience the convenience of the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle.
One of the tour members said that during holidays most of them could only meet friends at a local railway station for meal gatherings and chat, because they do not have access to transportation.
Through the experience, they got to know various services offered by the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle, as well as the travel routes that they access from train stations, so that they can take the shuttle to more places with their friends from the railway station.
What is more, the prices are quite affordable.
Another member of the group said that there were multilanguage station announcements on the bus during the ride.
Furthermore, after scanning a QR code on the bus, they could listen to an English-language audio guide for the attractions, so they did not have to worry about getting off at the wrong station and could also learn how to travel after getting off the bus, which is very tourist-friendly.

A strong continental cold air mass and abundant moisture bringing snow to mountains 3,000m and higher over the past few days are a reminder that more than 60 years ago Taiwan had an outdoor ski resort that gradually disappeared in part due to climate change. On Oct. 24, 2021, the National Development Council posted a series of photographs on Facebook recounting the days when Taiwan had a ski resort on Hehuanshan (合歡山) in Nantou County. More than 60 years ago, when developing a branch of the Central Cross-Island Highway, the government discovered that Hehuanshan, with an elevation of more than 3,100m,
Taiwan’s population last year shrank further and births continued to decline to a yearly low, the Ministry of the Interior announced today. The ministry published the 2024 population demographics statistics, highlighting record lows in births and bringing attention to Taiwan’s aging population.

Last year, there were 134,856 births, representing a crude birth rate of 5.76 per 1,000 people, a slight decline from 2023’s 135,571 births and 5.81 crude birth rate. This decrease of 715 births resulted in a new record low per the ministry’s data. Since 2016, which saw
SECURITY: To protect the nation’s Internet cables, the navy should use buoys marking waters within 50m of them as a restricted zone, a former navy squadron commander said A Chinese cargo ship repeatedly intruded into Taiwan’s contiguous and sovereign waters for three months before allegedly damaging an undersea Internet cable off Kaohsiung, a Liberty Times (sister paper of the Taipei Times) investigation revealed. Using publicly available information, the Liberty Times was able to reconstruct the Shunxing-39’s movements near Taiwan since Double Ten National Day last year. Taiwanese officials did not respond to the freighter’s intrusions until Friday last week, when the ship, registered in Cameroon and Tanzania, turned off its automatic identification system shortly before damage was inflicted to a key cable linking Taiwan to the rest of
TRANSPORT CONVENIENCE: The new ticket gates would accept a variety of mobile payment methods, and buses would be installed with QR code readers for ease of use New ticketing gates for the Taipei metro system are expected to begin service in October, allowing users to swipe with cellphones and select credit cards partnered with Taipei Rapid Transit Corp (TRTC), the company said on Tuesday. TRTC said its gates in use are experiencing difficulty due to their age, as they were first installed in 2007. Maintenance is increasingly expensive and challenging as the manufacturing of components is halted or becoming harder to find, the company said. Currently, the gates only accept EasyCard, iPass and electronic icash tickets, or one-time-use tickets purchased at kiosks, the company said. Since 2023, the company said it
