Transfer search

Use the "Transfer search" box on the Taiwan page.

Searching​

  1. Enter "From" and "To". Besides station names you can use station codes, such as "4220" for Taiwan Railway Tainan or "BL12" for Taipei Main Station on the Taipei Metro. For stations shared by several systems, the platforms of each system are listed together.
  2. Choose the "Date" and "Time", and the "Time type": departure, arrival, first train or last train.
  3. Under "Options", check the modes you want to use:
    • Rail: Taiwan Railway (optionally including reserved-seat trains such as Tze-Chiang and Chu-Kuang), Taiwan High Speed Rail, metro, light rail and gondola
    • Other: flights and ferries
  4. Tap "Search".
note

Buses and intercity coaches aren't part of transfer search yet (marked "in preparation"); look up bus routes, stops and arrival estimates on the "Bus" page. All times are in Taiwan time (UTC+8).

Results​

  • Sort by earliest arrival, lowest fare or fewest transfers.
  • Expand any leg to see the stops along the way.
  • Delays and suspensions are shown on the same page so you can check before you go.

To the outlying islands​

  • If you enter an outlying island as the destination (Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, Green Island, Orchid Island, Xiaoliuqiu and so on), the search switches to combined trips using the flights and ferries you checked.
  • The "Outlying islands" page lists the day's flights and sailings from Taiwan's main island to each island. Enter a departure station to get a trip by rail to the airport or port and then by plane or boat.

Train number lookup​

Under "Train number", choose the operator (Taiwan Railway or Taiwan High Speed Rail), enter the train number (for example Taiwan Railway 123 or HSR 0803) and a date to see that day's stops and times.

The "Stations" page searches Taiwan Railway, High Speed Rail, metro and light rail stations by name or station code, and lets you browse stations by system and line.
