Traveling on a Budget -Transportation
How to travel on a budget within Taiwan?
Not to worry we have great public transportation. The cost is really cheap.
1)Pick up an Easy Card or iPass
You may want to pick up an Easy card or iPass, at a nearby 7-11 or metro station. The cards only cost 100 NTD (about 3 to 2.5 EUR) each. The authorities are subsidizing for using public transportation with the cards, which makes getting the cards even more appealing.
2) Metro, Bus, Bike, Taxi or Train
With the Easy Card or iPass, you can practically pay all your fees for transportation. There is only one exception- the High Speed Rail. You still need to book your tickets for taking a trip on the high speed rail. In Taipei hiring a bike with the cards is really an affordable option, provided that you have a working phone number to sign up.
You can top up at stations and 7-11. You can top up with as much as 10,000 NT. For more information please visit the links below.
