Transport in New Taipei

The 72-hour Taipei Metro Unlimited Pass was definitely worth it! We used it throughout our 4-day trip and it made getting around Taipei so much easier and more convenient. We didn’t have to worry about buying tickets for every ride, and we were able to travel around the city without hassle. It’s affordable, easy to use, and perfect for tourists who plan to visit different places around Taipei. Highly recommended! 🚇🇹🇼

The instant purchase and use feature is great. You first exchange your voucher on the first floor of Taipei Bus Station, then head to the fourth floor for Kamalan Bus. You can buy your ticket in advance for a specific time, and then check upstairs if there are any standby seats available on an earlier bus, which is very flexible. It's a great choice for going to Yilan, and Luodong is excellent. It takes about 1.5 hours from Taipei Main Station to Luodong, which is the new station at a new location. Not having to drive yourself is very convenient.

I really love THSR!!! I would love to avail again when we go again in Taiwan. Very convenient for transpo.✨💯🚉🚊

Overall, I was very satisfied. Our driver was a gentleman named Philip. Since it was a private charter, it wasn't a full-fledged guided tour, but he did a great job highlighting the must-see spots and recommending shops at each location. In the car, he also gave us a brief overview of the places we were heading to, which made the travel time more informative. This time, we departed from Taipei and visited Yehliu, the Jinguashi area, and Jiufen. We were originally scheduled to return to our hotel, but when I mentioned wanting to eat Braised Pork Rice for dinner, he recommended a great restaurant and kindly dropped us off nearby instead. This kind of flexible service, unique to a private charter, was incredibly helpful. I've been to the Jiufen area by bus before, but it was very crowded, and just getting around was quite a hassle. Since this was a family trip, being able to travel efficiently by car made a huge difference. I think this service is especially convenient for those who want to visit multiple tourist spots in one day or families looking to reduce the stress of travel. However, even with the 10-hour course, considering the traffic when leaving and returning to Taipei, the overall impression was that there wasn't as much free time as expected. This time, we mostly let him decide the itinerary, but precisely because it's a private charter, I think it would have been better to communicate our preferences beforehand if there were specific places we wanted to spend more time at or prioritize.

After breakfast, we boarded a bus from a stop on the main street of Ximending. The ride was comfortable in the cool bus. We arrived at the Jiufen entrance bus stop in just under an hour. Since there are fewer shops open in the morning, there are also fewer tourists, allowing us to walk around and explore at a leisurely pace. Even though we went in the morning, a few souvenir shops and convenience stores were already open.

Our pickup was scheduled for 8 PM, but when we arrived 15 minutes early and called, they were already waiting for us. They had also contacted us via email, text message, and LINE prior to the day of the pickup. We were able to communicate through LINE, and when my son left his earbud case in the car, I messaged them on LINE and they responded immediately and came back to return it. Thanks to Chu-san, we had a wonderful trip. For our outbound journey, we took the train to Jiufen, so choosing the charter service was definitely the right decision.

Super convenient and highly recommended! Redeeming the Klook QR code at the Taoyuan Airport counter was fast and hassle-free. The bus is comfortable, has great AC, USB charging ports, and space for heavy luggage. The ride to the last station best part is that showing your ticket stub gets you a shuttle bus straight to Ximending! It saved us from dragging our bags through the MRT. Great value for money.

we were entertained by Jeff during the trip. he was helpful and very considerate to us. despite heavy rain for this whole trip, the tour still running as usual. fell better when i hire the driver as extreme adventure while taking public transport.

The driver was very friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic throughout the whole trip. He drove very safely and took us to all the places we wanted to visit. He also made the trip more fun and enjoyable for our whole group. We had such a great time. Highly recommended
