5 Reasons of having Easy Card or iPass
Besides taking the metro here are 5 things that you can do with Easy Card or iPass.
1) Using it as cash
Don't want to carry cash, these cards are also accepted at 7-11 and other convenience chain stores. Needed refreshments, they are also accepted at many famous shops.
Please note that not all the shops accept them, so be sure to carry a little bit of cash just in case.
2)Buying tickets
You can pay your tickets to:
a) Museums
b) City zoos
c) Fairies
d) Historical sites
And much more (for more information please check out the links below)
3) No need to queue up for Train tickets
If you don't have one of these cards you may need to queue up for buying your tickets. Buying one on the machines can be quite confusing for first timers. So having these cards may come in handy. Just swipe and you are good to go.
Please note that the Taroko and Puyuma Express are off limits when you enter the station with these cards. Boarding without express tickets will be fined. (for booking trains please check out the link below)
4) Borrowing Books
For all the exchange students, if you do have a working ID and you wish to use the library resources. Why not use these cards as your library card. It can save you the fee on getting a library card.
5) They are collectables
They come in different designs. There are ordinary card shape, Taiwanese flip-flop, and even as a key chain. They are printed with a lot of great designs, as well. They are so adorable. They can be kept as a souvenir.

By the way, the Suomi (Finland) flag one is limited.
