TRANSPORTATION

Taipei MRT
Taipei has a convenient public transportation system. We recommend you to travel by Taipei Metro or MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) which is very efficient. See the ROUTE MAP. For more information about Taipei Metro, please visit HERE.

Bus
The bus system is also reliable and efficient. There are more than 300 bus lines and the major transfer hub is around Taipei Main Station. The bus system is comprehensive, but can be difficult for non-Chinese speakers. Buses do not provide change. Most bus services run until 23:00.

Taxi
Taxis (The YELLOW ones) are plenty, fast, and the by-metered fare rate is reasonable. English Taxi Drivers Association (ETA; Tel: (02)27-997-997) provides taxi drivers with a certificate for speaking English. However, most taxi drivers do not speak or read English, so providing the destination in Chinese characters or a map is helpful.

Driving
Driving in Taipei is not recommended due to the difficulties of drivers unaccustomed to heavily congested city traffic.
