Super convenient and worth it! The unlimited pass made getting around Taipei easy and hassle-free. No need to reload or worry about fares—just tap and go. Perfect for visiting multiple spots in a day, and pickup/redemption was quick. Great value for tourists exploring the city.

I had fun exploring Southern Taiwan with this 3 day pass. Very easy to use, it comes with a booklet that you'll get from the HSR counter. You can book your HSR in advance through the website, can even change your time of departure when you go to the counter. My accomodation is in Taipei and the day trips in Taichung and Tainan was just a breeze. HSR also provides free shuttle bus between HSR station to the main city, just research for the bus number. You have to go through the staff at the gates to pass through, they will inspect the booklet. I'll comeback to explore more of South Taiwan!

I was very satisfied with my trip from Banqiao to Jiaoxi on the Kamalan Bus! The reservation process was simple and convenient, the seats were comfortable and spacious, and the driver drove smoothly and arrived on time. The vehicle was clean and tidy, and the air conditioning was just right, making the entire journey very comfortable. The price was reasonable, making it easier and more environmentally friendly than driving myself. The customer service staff were friendly and patient in answering questions. Overall, it is a good choice for traveling between Taipei and Yilan. I will choose this service again for my next trip and recommend it to friends who need to travel between Taipei and Yilan!

The bus arrived on time, the air conditioning worked very well and the journey was very pleasant. Very quick and easy checkin with the QR code. We weren't quite sure where to get off, but then we used Google Maps to find our way around once we arrived.

My husband and I booked last minute a day before and our driver was Marco. He was prompt, friendly, and drove safely. He was informative and also gave us great suggestions for the Yangmingshan area. We had a fantastic day and would definitely book again.

I recently used the Taiwan Airport Bus Transfer service, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The buses were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with spacious seating and strong air-conditioning — perfect after a long flight. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering clear instructions and assisting with luggage.
What impressed me the most was the punctuality and convenience. The schedules were accurate, signs were easy to follow, and the ticketing process was simple and hassle-free. The ride was smooth and efficient, giving me a relaxing transition from the airport to the city center.
For travelers looking for an affordable and worry-free airport transfer option in Taiwan, this service is highly recommended. I will definitely use it again on my next visit!

The user-friendly purchase interface, diverse transportation options, and clear timetables and ticket displays make it so convenient that I never want to queue at the counter to buy tickets again. Klook has become my most practical and time-saving ticket purchase option.

service: We have a very good driver/tour guide Alex Chang! No dull moments with him the entire time we were on tour, he knows even the short cut in Shifen Watefalls as we have a senior on a wheelchair with us and going to the waterfalls using the steps will be very hard. he made sure we enjoyed our activities and even help took some of our pictures. Would definitely book again soon as we go back to Taiwan.
