To encourage the use of public transportation and ease congestion on highways, the Taiwan Highway Bureau is implementing measures during the New Year holiday period (from December 29, 2023, 00:00 to January 1, 2024, 24:00).
They are promoting the use of electronic ticketing on 88 long-distance national highway bus routes, offering discounts equivalent to regular weekday fares or an 15% discount off the original fare. Additionally, passengers transferring between national highway buses, Taiwan Railways, and High-Speed Rail within 10 hours can enjoy a free transfer on local buses for one section (or basic mileage). It's recommended that those interested in participating in New Year's activities take advantage of these offers!
Moreover, from December 30, 2023, 00:00 to January 1, 2024, 24:00, special promotions will be available exclusively in the Eastern region. You can choose between two offers: Firstly, the "Local Mobility Rental Car Discount" on designated Eastern national highway bus routes. Showcasing proof of rental car vouchers from specified vendors along with round-trip bus tickets or ticket receipts will allow you to avail discounts for the return journey (cars: NT$200 off, scooters: NT$100 off). Secondly, presenting valid accommodation certificates from Eastern region lodgings and Taiwan Tourist Shuttle Package allows four people to travel on the Eastern national highway bus (North-South or North-East lines) with one person traveling for free. Additionally, there's a discount of NT$200 on the return trip. These New Year's offers are ready for you to utilize in the coming year.
